The term "bare particle" is often used in the context of particle physics and can refer to a fundamental particle that is not dressed by interactions with other particles or fields. In quantum field theory, particles can acquire mass and other properties through interactions, such as the Higgs mechanism, where particles interact with the Higgs field. In many cases, "bare particles" are considered to be the idealized versions that exist without any of the complexities introduced by quantum interactions.
