- Higgs boson - Wikipedia
Both the field and the boson are named after physicist Peter Higgs, who in 1964, along with five other scientists in three teams, proposed the Higgs mechanism, a way for some particles to acquire mass
- The Higgs boson - CERN
Discovering the Higgs boson was just the beginning In the ten years since, physicists have examined how strongly it interacts with other particles, to see if this matches theoretical predictions
- Higgs boson: The God Particle explained - Space
The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle discovered on July 4, 2012, by researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, Switzerland
- ATLAS finds evidence for rare Higgs decay | University of Oxford . . .
Researchers from the University of Oxford have played a major role in one of the most precise studies yet of the Higgs boson — the mysterious particle that helps explain why everything in the universe has mass
- The Higgs Field: How Particles Gain Mass - sciencenewstoday. org
The Higgs field is not merely a mechanism for particle mass; it is woven into the very structure of the universe It contributes to the energy of the vacuum, influences cosmological evolution, and plays a subtle role in the stability of the universe itself
- Higgs boson | Physics, Particle Physics Standard Model | Britannica
The Higgs field is different from other fundamental fields—such as the electromagnetic field —that underlie the basic forces between particles First, it is a scalar field; i e , it has magnitude but no direction
- CERNs ATLAS detects evidence for decay of Higgs boson into muon . . .
The decay of a Higgs boson into a muon-antimuon pair is a key test of the Higgs mechanism for second-generation fermions
- Higgs field - Physics Book
These particles, Higgs particles, are so massive that they are not found in ordinary matter, the only way to observe these is with high energy collisions The Higgs field is what gives particles their mass When a particle interacts with this field, it gains its mass
