Quarks are point-like particles found mainly in baryons, mesons etc. The Higgs boson is a primary particle produced when the higgs field is excited
If the Standard Model is correct -- and the search for the Higgs was (basically) a test of the correctness of the Standard Model -- then a Higgs Boson of mass 126 GeV would decay into a bottom-antibottom quark pair about 56% of the time.
Higgs boson was created in 2011.
The "Higgs Field".
No, Higgs Boson is a theoretical particle yet to be observed directly or indirectly by humans. Quarks on the other hand have been observed directly and indirectly. Also, the Higgs boson is responsible for a field, however quarks are responsible for matter, and are the basic constituents of the nuclei in atoms.
Higgs from America & Bose from India.
The Higgs Boson is called the "God" particle because it would help explain on of physics biggest mysteries: how gravity works. Can both God and the Higgs Boson exist? Yes, if God exists, then he could have created the Higgs Boson, like he created other particles.
the Higgs Boson
not yet
The facility that found the most unambiguous evidence for the reality of the Higgs Boson is CERN.
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
The Higgs boson, is well, a boson. All bosons follow Bose-Einstein statistics and are therefore CAN occupy the same quantum state (as opposed to fermions, i.e. matter, which cannot.) So basically, no. The Higgs boson does not occupy any space.
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.
