Where are the Higgs boson particles supposed to be located?
Is there one in the electron, neutrinos, proton, neutron?

What !? Why do you say that !? The pions are (pseudo)scalars for instance and very strongly interacting.jal said:scalars are massless or weakly interacting.
Ah I get it, this is a joke :tongue2:The best explanation that I have see, which tries to explain how the Higgs bosons can "create mass", is the work by John G. and E8.
I beg to differ. Many people have a lot to say about hadrons.He addresses the questions for the neucleons but he nor anyone else have anything to say for electrons, and neutrinos.
They are most favored in the current paradigm.jal said:I realize that the Higgs field and the Higgs boson are still theoretical and only one out of many possible models.
A scalar particle just refers to a particle without spin. The Higgs boson is unique in the sens that it is a fundamental particle without spin.scalars
Let us not concentrate on neutrinos for now as they would just complicate the story. Fundamental matter particles (fermions) are the quarks and leptons. The gauge principle, which is a powerful symmetry principle based on the (classical electromagnetism, later generalized to a quantum) idea that the wave function absolute phases (as a complex number) are arbitrary at every point in space-time, forbids mass terms in the lagrangian. The mass terms can be constructed from a (Higgs) scalar field. This Higgs scalar field however is first motivated by the "force" sector of the model, describing gauge bosons.How is the Higgs particle mechanism responsible for the mass of electrons, neutrinos and as well as the mass of ALL particles?
I agree.A scalar particle just refers to a particle without spin. The Higgs boson is unique in the sense that it is a fundamental particle without spin.
... But the scalar inflaton you are referring to is not the same (to my inderstanding) as the Higgs boson(s).
I've got to do "living chores". I'll be back later.If it’s massless it can move at the speed of light.
If it has mass then it is subluminar.
jal said:How did the massless scalars acquire mass and become Higg particles which then give mass to the other massless scalars which then become particles.?
I could not find any papers in arXiv.org that dealt with this question.

You said, "scalar particle". From what I have learned, scalars move at the speed of light and particles are sub-luminar. How was this change achieved?

The Higgs boson particle was discovered at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Higgs boson particle is important because it helps explain how other particles obtain mass and gives us a better understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
The Higgs boson particle was discovered using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Scientists observed collisions between protons at high energies and analyzed the resulting particles to find evidence of the Higgs boson.
According to the Standard Model of particle physics, there is only one Higgs boson particle. However, some theories propose the existence of additional Higgs boson particles with different properties.
Finding the Higgs boson particle confirms the existence of the Higgs field, which is responsible for giving particles their mass. It also helps validate the Standard Model and allows scientists to further explore the mysteries of the universe.
