Question 2

The Standard Model of particle physics includes four types of gauge bosons that mediate fundamental forces. The table below shows data from particle physics experiments at CERN, listing detected bosons and their properties. Using the stimulus table, identify the four types of gauge bosons in the Standard Model and state which gauge boson mediates the weak nuclear decay process in which a neutron transforms into a proton, electron, and antineutrino.
