The Higgs boson has not yet been discovered. It has been predicted by numerous physicists (the best known is probably Peter Higgs, since the particle was named after him, but more people worked on it) and many think that it is required to explain certain features of the Standard Model, which is the model which describes particle interactions at a small scale.

Recently FermiLab has published results which show they may have found the Higgs boson in their collider experiments, but the uncertainties are still too great to be able to claim with confidence that the particle has been found.

If it exists, it will be found by the LHC-experiment at CERN.

The Higgs Field (as it now called) was proposed, independently and almost simultaneously, but three groups of scientists. Peter Higgs was the first to note that this field (if it existed) would require a boson. Thus, his name got attached to the boson, and thus to the field itself.

Dr.Boson suggested that the particles around us gain mass when they enter a feild.This feild was yet to be discovered buut on july4 2012 the particles constiuting this feild were found .Two protons were accelarated and they were forced to colide.This led to the formation of the gods particles.they decompose evry quickly.their mass is 125.31 +-.6.

Well first a man named, Peter Higgs had gave hints that there was a particle that gives mass, however this was all based on theoretical physics. Mainly it had been maths that had helped him devise this God Particle. However than the LHC had been finished its construction that had been undergoing for 25 years. The first thing they did was look for this particle (what we call, Experimental Physics). Than 2 years later, after smashing proton at nearly the speed of light, they had found the particle. Despite the fact that Peter Higgs came up with it and that it had Boson properties, they decided to name it the Higgs Boson.

What will happen if the Higgs boson is discovered?

It will prove the existence of the Higgs Boson. So far it is only theory. This is a groundbreaking result as particle physics has been without new data for over a decade to decide what theories are correct.
