Science Made Simple: What is the Higgs Boson (God Particle)?
WEBDec 25, 2020 · The Higgs boson is a subatomic particle that was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. It is named after physicist Peter Higgs, who, along with several other scientists, proposed its existence in the 1960s.

WEBSep 8, 2023 · In fact, all elementary particles that have mass get it by interacting with the all-powerful Higgs field, which occupies the entire universe. Like the other Standard Model particles, the Higgs one would need a carrier particle to affect other particles, and that particle is known as 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.

WEBWhat's so special about the Higgs boson? Real CMS proton-proton collision events in which 4 high energy muons (red lines) are observed. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of a Higgs boson but is also consistent with background Standard Model physics processes.
The Higgs boson - CERN
WEBThe Higgs boson can't be “discovered” by finding it somewhere but has to be created in a particle collision. Once created, it transforms – or “decays” – into other particles that can be detected in particle detectors. Physicists look for traces of these particles in data collected by the detectors.
The basics of the Higgs boson - CERN
WEBThe Higgs boson is one of two types of fundamental particles, and it’s a particular game-changer in the field of particle physics, proving how particles gain mass. Using the Socratic method, CERN physicists Dave Barney and Steve Goldfarb explain the exciting implications of the Higgs boson.
DOE Explains...the Higgs Boson | Department of Energy
WEBThe Higgs boson is the fundamental particle associated with the Higgs field, a field that gives mass to other fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks. A particle’s mass determines how much it resists changing its speed or position when it encounters a force.
