Gauge Bosons in The Standard Model
The Standard Model of particle physics recognizes three kinds of gauge bosons: photons, which carry the electromagnetic interaction; W and Z bosons, which carry the weak interaction; and gluons, which carry the strong interaction.
Isolated gluons do not occur at low energies because they are color-charged, and subject to color confinement.
