What subatomic particle causes mass?

*IF* the Higgs Field gives an explanation for why some particles have mass and others don't, and *IF* the Higgs Boson is a part of this field; then the discovery of the Higgs Boson would be a major breakthrough in supporting the Higgs Field, and thus the continued use of "The Standard Model." If it is NOT found, then scientists are almsot back to the drawing board. Because of these facts, the Higgs Boson is called, completely erroneously, the particle that creates mass or (worse) the "God Particle." Even the person who first used that term to describe the Higgs Boson hates the use of it. As of this week, scientists at CERN predict that the existence of the Higgs Boson will be known within a year.


What percentage of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson?

About 2% of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson. The rest is due to the effect of the Strong Nuclear Force.


How the higgs boson got its name?

It is a boson, a type of particle, that is a part of the Higgs mechanism, a theory of how particles can have mass if they are just energy


What is the weight of higgs boson?

The Higgs boson has a mass of approximately 125 GeV/c^2, which is about 2.2 x 10^-25 kilograms.


What is a higgs bosson?

A Higgs Boson is a particle that is hypothesised to give other particles their mass. All fields have gauge particles, or bosons, for example, the electromagnetic field's boson is the photon. Peter Higgs' theory was that all particles that have mass are interacting with a sea of Higgs particles, and it was this interaction that gave these particles their mass. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN recently discovered a Higgs-like particle at a mass of around 125 Gigaelectronvolts.


Has the Higgs boson been found yet?

We are not sure if the theorized Higgs boson is real or not. If it is, it would be provide some support to ideas about what mass (and, therefore, gravity, which is associated mass) really is. We're still looking for experimental support that the Higgs boson is real, and now that the Large Hadron Collider is up and running, all (interested) eyes are on CERN and awaiting results.


Is the Higgs boson a portal to the 5th dimension?

No, the Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle believed to explain why some particles in the Standard Model have mass larger than zero. However if it cannot be found there is an alternate theory called "Technicolor" that might explain this. Higgs is just a simpler theory to work with than Technicolor, so it is currently preferred as well as being easier to test with current technology.


Why defined the mass of electron?

by a particle called higgs boson


When was Higgs boson created?

Higgs boson was created in 2011.


What is the significance of the Higgs Strahlung process in particle physics?

The Higgs Strahlung process is significant in particle physics because it involves the production of a Higgs boson in association with a Z boson. This process helps scientists study the properties of the Higgs boson, which is crucial for understanding the mechanism of mass generation in the universe.


What are higgs boson particles?

The Higgs boson is a subatomic particle that is believed to give mass to other particles according to the Higgs mechanism in particle physics. It was first theorized in the 1960s and was experimentally confirmed in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider. The discovery of the Higgs boson was a major breakthrough in understanding the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.


What is boson particle?

The boson particle is usually associated with the Higgs field. It is an energy field that transmits the mass to the things that travel through it.
