Browsing: Higgs Boson
The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle, often referred to as the “God particle,” crucial in the Standard Model of particle physics. It is associated with the Higgs field, a field that is thought to permeate all of space and give mass to particles that interact with it. The existence of the Higgs boson and its field was proposed in the 1960s by physicist Peter Higgs and others, as a solution to the problem of where particles like protons and electrons get their mass. Its discovery was a pivotal goal of particle physics, culminating in 2012 when the Higgs boson was observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, near Geneva. This discovery was a major milestone and confirmed a key component of the Standard Model, enhancing our understanding of the fundamental structure of the universe. The detection of the Higgs boson helped explain the origin of mass for elementary particles, which has profound implications across the field of physics.
