Understanding the Connection between the Higgs Field and Gravity

Hi can someone explain to me how the higgs field creates gravity, or how is it related to it? I mean, if the higgs field is responsible for mass, then it should be somewhat responsible for gravity. Right?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The Higgs is not related to gravity.
It gives many particles a mass. However, look at composite particles like the proton: most of its mass comes from the kinetic energy of its parts.

Gravity acts on all energy, and mass is a type of energy. The Higgs is not "responsible" for gravity, it just changes the mass (and therefore the interaction strength) of some particles.

I am not responsible for capitalism if I give you 1€.
 
oh! its clear now, thanks!

Thread 'Why is there such a difference between the total cross-section data? (simulation vs. experiment)'

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
