How does the Brout-Englert-Higgs field work? Why is it so special? How was its existence proved at the LHC? This video explains the basics of the Higgs boson and its associated field in 4 minutes with infographics. Real CMS proton-proton collision events in which 4 high energy muons red lines are observed. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of a Higgs boson but is also consistent with background Standard Model physics processes. Image: CERN. The Higgs boson Elementary particles gain their mass from a fundamental field associated with the Higgs boson.
Credit: CERN. The Higgs boson is the fundamental particle associated with the Higgs field, a field that gives mass to other fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks.
Not all fundamental particles have mass. The photon, which is the particle of light and carries the electromagnetic force, has no mass at all.
Scientists are now studying the characteristic properties of the Higgs boson to determine if it precisely matches the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics.
If the Higgs boson deviates from the model, it may provide clues to new particles that only interact with other Standard Model particles through the Higgs boson and thereby lead to new scientific discoveries.
It is currently the only place scientists can create and study Higgs bosons. Some bosons are formed when two or more particles join together to create an integer-spin particle, such as:. If you're following the math, any composite particle that contains an even number of fermions is going to be a boson, because an even number of half-integers is always going to add up to an integer.
