DarkStar8 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 What mechanisms are there for converting between bosons and fermions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Bind Fermions together and you can get a Boson. Split a composite Boson and you might get Fermions. e.g. an electron and a proton make H-1, which is a Boson. A photon can create an electron/positron pair.

ajb Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Well, there is supersymmetry which does exactly that, but we have no evidence that this is realised in nature. In 1+1 dimensions there is a process called bosonization, where you take a system of interacting fermions and produce non-interacting bosons.
