WEBOct 8, 2013 · Two physicists, Peter Higgs of Britain and François Englert of Belgium, on Tuesday won the Nobel Prize in Physics. But just what is the Higgs Boson?
Higgs boson - Wikipedia
WEBIn the Standard Model, the Higgs boson is a massive scalar boson whose mass must be found experimentally. Its mass has been determined to be 125.35 ± 0.15 GeV/c 2 by CMS (2022) [36] and 125.11 ± 0.11 GeV/c 2 by ATLAS (2023). It is the only particle that remains massive even at very high energies.

WEBJul 4, 2022 · The Higgs boson is a prediction of a mechanism that took place in the early Universe, less than a picosecond after the Big Bang, which led to the electromagnetic and the weak interactions...
The Higgs boson - CERN
WEBStars, planets and life could only emerge because particles gained their mass from a fundamental field associated with the Higgs boson. The existence of this mass-giving field was confirmed in 2012, when the Higgs boson particle was discovered at CERN.
Refining the picture of the Higgs boson - ATLAS
WEBNov 19, 2020 · (Image: ATLAS Collaboration/CERN) Researchers set out to determine the Higgs boson’s parity properties by measuring its decays to pairs of W bosons (H → WW*), Z bosons (H → ZZ*) and to photons (H → γγ). Through these measurements, they confirmed that the Higgs boson has even charge-parity (CP).

WEBJul 4, 2018 · The “Higgs mechanism,” which consists of the Higgs field and its corresponding Higgs boson, is said to give mass to elementary particles. By “mass” we mean the inertial mass, which resists when we try to accelerate an object, rather than the gravitational mass, which is sensitive to gravity.
The Higgs boson, ten years after its discovery - CERN
WEBTen years ago, on July 4 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announced the discovery of a new particle with features consistent with those of the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics.
