GOD PARTICLE (H0)
Higgs boson or Higgs particle or God Particle
It is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics.
It is the quantum excitation of the Higgs field - a fundamental field of crucial importance to
particle physics theory, first suspected to exist in the 1960s, which, unlike other known fields such
as the electromagnetic field, takes a non-zero constant value almost everywhere.
The Higgs boson or Higgs particle is an elementary particle initially theorised in 1964, and
tentatively confirmed to exist on 14 March 2013.
It is named after Peter Higgs.
It was Theorized by R. Brout, F. Englert, P. Higgs, G. S. Guralnik, C. R. Hagen, and T. W. B.
Kibble (1964)
In 2013 Peter Higgs and François Englert were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their
discovery.
