Abstract

This work analyzes quantum fields that describe particles and quantum fields that mediate interaction between particles. Criteria for the acceptability of a quantum theory are explained and used. The main result states that no genuine particle mediates interaction between other particles. It is proved that Maxwellian radiation fields, namely photons, interact with electric charges but no genuine photon is involved in a bound state of atomic electrons or in the case where an electronic beam is scattered by an electrically charged target. The term virtual photons, which describes interaction mediating electromagnetic fields, indicates that the current literature implicitly agrees with this conclusion. Analogous results are obtained for the strong nuclear force, for the strong interactions and for the weak interactions.
