X boson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about new kind of elementary particle. In condensed matter physics, the X boson method refers to a treatment of a condensed matter system using Hubbard operators which express all local correlations of the system.

In particle physics, an X boson is new elementary particle analogous to the W boson and Z boson, but one that corresponds to a new type of force, such as the forces predicted by grand unified theory. The interactions arising due to these X bosons are responsible for new phenomena such as the proton decay. X bosons have 4/3 elementary electric charge and net color charge.
X boson have following decay modes:
Where q is quark and l is lepton. In this reactions both lepton number and baryon number are not conserved, but B-L is. Different branching ratio between X boson and its antiparticle (such as with K-meson) would explain baryogenesis.
A related type of new particles is called Y boson.
