- Higgs bosonAn elementary particle in the Standard Model, namely a boson with zero spin, that gives mass to other particles.
- gauge bosonAny of the fundamental particles that carry the fundamental forces of nature.
- W-bosona fundamental particle, a gauge boson, that, together with the Z-boson, mediates the weak nuclear force; it has a charge of ± 1

- scalar bosonA boson which has zero spin.
- vector bosonAny of a family of gauge bosons having a spin quantum number of one.
- X bosonA hypothetical elementary particle that couples quarks to leptons, analogous to the W boson and Z boson, but corresponding to a new type of force predicted by the Georgi–Glashow model.
- boson starA theoretical type of heavenly body composed of a form of boson that is self-repelling, what should be highly dense and bend spacetime in a manner approaching that of a black hole.
- boson starsplural of boson star: A theoretical type of heavenly body composed of a form of boson that is self-repelling, what should be highly dense and bend spacetime in a manner approaching that of a black hole.
- Goldstone bosonA spinless boson that necessarily appears in models exhibiting spontaneous breakdown of continuous symmetries.
- intermediate vector bosonAny of the three fundamental particles (the two W-bosons and the Z-boson) that transmit the weak nuclear force and have a mass about 100 times that of a proton.
- Nambu-Goldstone bosonSynonym of Goldstone boson: A spinless boson that necessarily appears in models exhibiting spontaneous breakdown of continuous symmetries.
- pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosonA light scalar particle that arises from the spontaneous breaking of a global continuous symmetry, but with an additional small explicit breaking of the symmetry that gives it a small but nonzero mass.
