The Higgs boson is an elementary particle that allows scientists to explore the Higgs field, a fundamental field that exists everywhere and gives particles mass. Confirming the existence of the Higgs field and particle explains several puzzles in physics, such as why some particles have mass and the short range of the weak force. After a 40 year search and construction of the Large Hadron Collider, scientists announced in 2012 the discovery of a new particle with properties matching the predicted Higgs boson, confirming its existence.

1. The GOD particle :
HIGGS BOSON

2. The Higgs boson or Higgs particle is an elementary particle in
the Standard Model of particle physics. Its main relevance is that it
allows scientists to explore the Higgs field– a fundamental field first
suspected to exist in the 1960s that unlike the more
familiar electromagnetic field cannot be "turned off", but instead takes a
non-zero constant value almost everywhere.
The presence of this field, now believed to be confirmed, explains why
some fundamental particles have mass even though
the symmetries controlling their interactions should require them to be
massless, and also answers several other long-standing puzzles in
physics, such as the reason the weak force has a much shorter range than
the electromagnetic force

3. Despite being present everywhere, the existence of the
Higgs field is very hard to confirm. It can be detected
through its excitations (i.e. Higgs particles), but these
are extremely hard to produce and detect. The
importance of this fundamental question led to a 40
year search for this elusive particle, and the
construction of one of the world's most expensive and
complex experimental facilities to date, CERN's Large
Hadron Collider, able to create Higgs bosons and other
particles for observation and study.

4. In 1964 Peter Higgs with other scientists proposed the
mechanism which suggests the existence of higgs
particle. This led to the eventual design of the famous
LHC machine.

Collision of particle in LHC
results in the formation of many
sub atomic particle and on rare
occasion a HIGGS BOSON is
formed

7. The standard model of particle physics full explains all the
phenomenon viz., electricity, magnetism etc. This model
divides all particles into fermions and bosons.
Elementary fermions
Matter particles
Quarks
Leptons
Anti Matter particles
Elementary bosons
Force particle
Photon
Gluon
W and Z bosons
Graviton
Elementary particles

8. But the
standard
model
has a
hole in it.
It can’t
explain
why
particles
possess
mass.
This
is
where
the
Higgs
Field
comes
in.

9. It is a field of energy that exist throughout all the
space composed of higgs boson. All particles pass
through this field and the greater the interaction of a
particle with the field the greater is its mass. Hence
mass comes from the interaction with the higgs field.

10. On 4 July 2012, the discovery of a new particle with a
mass between 125 and 127 GeV/c2 was announced;
physicists suspected that it was the Higgs boson. By
March 2013, the particle had been proven to behave,
interact and decay in many of the ways predicted by
the Standard Model, and was also tentatively
confirmed to have positive parity and zero spin, two
fundamental attributes of a Higgs boson.
Existence now confirmed
