Higgs boson Story1 #722664 The last elementary particle of the Standard Model to have been discovered (2012), the Higgs boson differs from the bosons carrying interactions, and from the fermions composing matter. It is a fundamental element of the standard model, as it is central to the BEH mechanism through which particles acquire their masses. This is the reason why the detailed analysis of its properties is one of the primary objectives of the LHC physics programme. |
