2. (physics) the transfer of energy between elementary particles or between an elementary particle and a field or between fields;
   Mediated by gauge bosons (synset 111536546)
   referred to in: natural philosophy, physics - the science of matter and energy and their interactions
   is a type of: physical phenomenon - a natural phenomenon involving the physical properties of matter and energy
   subtypes:

   • electromagnetic interaction - an interaction between charged elementary particles that is intermediate in strength between the strong and weak interactions; mediated by photons
   • gravitational interaction - a weak interaction between particles that results from their mass; mediated by gravitons
   • color force, strong force, strong interaction - (physics) the interaction that binds protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of atoms; mediated by gluons
   • weak force, weak interaction - (physics) an interaction between elementary particles involving neutrinos or antineutrinos that is responsible for certain kinds of radioactive decay; mediated by intermediate vector bosons
