Entropy (Basel), Volume 23, Issue 11, https://doi.org/10.3390/e231114161099-4300https://hdl.handle.net/2144/44210The elementary particles of relativistic quantum field theory are not simple field quanta, as has long been assumed. Rather, they supplement quantum fields, on which they depend on but to which they are not reducible, as shown here with particles defined instead as a unified collection of properties that appear in both physical symmetry group representations and field propagators. This notion of particle provides consistency between the practice of particle physics and its basis in quantum field theory.en-USCopyright: © 2021 by the authors.
