   The God Particle  HIGGS BOSON..               

Higgs particle is an elementary particle in the standard model of particle physics. Higgs  boson is predicted to exist for theoretical regions, and may have been detected by experiments at the large hadron collider

If confirmed, this detection would further support the existence of the hypothetical Higgs field – the simplest of several proposed mechanisms for the breaking of electroweak symmetry, and the means by which elementary particles acquire mass.

The leading explanation is that a field exists that has nonzero strength everywhere – even in otherwise empty space – and that particles acquire mass when interacting with this so called Higgs field.

If this theory is true, a matching particle – the smallest possible excitation of the Higgs field – should also exist and be detectable, providing a crucial test of the theory . consequently it has been the target of a long search in particle physics.

The Higgs boson is named after Peter Higgs , who along with R. Brout and F. Englert and with G.S. Guralnik , C.R. Hagen and TWB Kibble – proposed the mechanism that suggested such a particle in 1964 and was the only one to explicitly predict the massive particle and identify some of its theoretical properties .

In mainstream media it is often referred to as the GOD PARTICLE  after the title of Leon Ledermans books on the topic (1933)

However, the epithet is strongly disliked by many physicists who regard it as inappropriate sensationalism
