W boson
With a charge of +1 or -1, the W boson can change the identity of particles that undergo weak interactions, for example in radioactive decays. CERN announced its discovery in 1983. Since then, experimental physicists have continued to compare measurements of W boson properties with theoretical predictions, particularly the mass, with increasingly higher precision.
