   The gauge bosons $\text{ (force carrier)}$ are responsible for the three forces described by the Standard Model of particle physics $\text{ (physics model)}$. They are massless in the classical theory, though interactions with the Higgs field $\text{ (quantum field)}$ effectively endow the weak force carriers with mass $\text{ (physical property)}$.
