My general understanding was that they were created by fields, which makes me wonder how the LHC plans to detect the higgs boson... but I could be wrong

Force carrier particles are particles that are responsible for carrying and mediating the fundamental forces of nature, including the electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and gravitational force.
No, force carrier particles are not emitted by mass. They are created by fields, which are regions of space that have a specific physical property, such as an electric or magnetic field.
Force carrier particles are created when the corresponding field is excited by a particle interaction. For example, the photon, which is the force carrier particle for the electromagnetic force, is created when an electron and a positron interact and exchange energy.
Yes, force carrier particles can be indirectly detected through particle interactions and their effects on other particles. For example, the W and Z bosons, which are the force carrier particles for the weak nuclear force, were first detected in high-energy particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.
Force carrier particles play a crucial role in our understanding of the universe and the laws of physics. They allow us to explain and predict the behavior of fundamental forces and interactions between particles, and have helped us develop the standard model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental particles and forces of nature.
