A Brief Discussion on Higgs Boson
D. Banerjee, P. Ghosh, Suchismita Sahoo · Universal Journal of Physics and Application · 2014
The Standard Model (SM) of elementary particles allows the generation of particle mass with the help of Higgs mechanism and preserves the fundamental symmetries of the theory. The quantum of Higgs field is the Higgs boson, which was the missing piece of the SM till July 2012. It is an important particle because it is responsible for the Higgs mechanism by which all particles acquire mass. It has some unique properties which give a special status to it in the table of elementary particles of the SM. In this article, we have briefly discussed about the Higgs boson.
