The document reflects on twelve years of research related to the Higgs boson, highlighting its significance in particle physics and the journey toward its discovery at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012. It discusses fundamental concepts such as electroweak symmetry breaking, Higgs potential, and the implications of the Higgs field for mass generation in elementary particles. The author also addresses the historical context and theoretical developments leading up to the Higgs boson's recognition as a critical element of the Standard Model.
