SUMMARY

The Higgs particle, also known as the God Particle, has been confirmed as the final component of the Standard Model of particle physics. The Higgs field is responsible for imparting mass to particles through the Higgs mechanism. Recent findings suggest that traces of the Higgs boson (HB) have been detected at lower energy levels than expected, with one research group claiming a 99.99% certainty in their discovery. However, the discrepancy in energy levels remains unexplained, prompting further investigation into the implications of these findings.

PREREQUISITES

Well, Recently The God Particle which is the Higgs particle was found which was the last particle of standard model.

Higgs told that, Higgs field caused for the mass of any particle.

But I am confused that how Higgs field generate mass in any particle. Is there any satisfactory explanation for this theory ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The "footprints" of the HB are suspected. They have found something that resembles what they were looking but at much lower energy levels. At least one group that was looking says they are 99.99% sure that they have found the traces of the HB but they cannot explain the difference in energy levels.

I am 99.99% sure that UFOs exist - but I can't explain why there is so little evidence.
Maybe they both exist - maybe not.
