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.
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.
The scalar boson, also known as the Higgs boson, is significant in particle physics because it helps explain how particles acquire mass. Its discovery in 2012 confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, which is responsible for giving particles their mass. This discovery was a major milestone in understanding the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.
Particle physics. Specifically, the Standard Model of Particle Physics was centered around the Higgs Boson- had the boson not been found to exist, then modern physics as we know it would be on very shaky ground.
Not much is known yet about the Higgs Boson. The recently announced particle, which might be the Higgs boson, has a mass of about 125 GeV/c2; if you like, you can convert that to joules, to get the total energy. I assume that when such a particle decays, much of its mass will be converted to energy.
The Higgs boson has a mass of approximately 125 GeV/c^2, which is about 2.2 x 10^-25 kilograms.
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
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
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.
Higgs boson was created in 2011.

The Higgs is a hypothetical particle required by supersymmetry theory. It is believed to cause the masses of all particles.
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.
The "Higgs Field".
an extremely massive boson particle, the properties of which impose the masses of all other particles in some versions of supersymmetry theory.
The scalar boson, also known as the Higgs boson, is significant in particle physics because it helps explain how particles acquire mass. Its discovery in 2012 confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, which is responsible for giving particles their mass. This discovery was a major milestone in understanding the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.
*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.
