The stronger a particle interacts with the Higgs field, the heavier the particle ends up being. How do particles get mass Particles get their mass by interacting with the Higgs field they do not have a mass of their own. Thats where the elusive Higgs boson comes into play with its large mass and nonexistent spin, its thought to generate a Higgs field that imbues all the. Focusing more on the hadron collider searches during the last decade, we discuss how the search for the Higgs boson was advanced through mastering the experimental signatures of standard theory backgrounds, through the comprehensive utilization of the features of the detectors involved in the searches, and by means of advanced data analysis techniques. Its discovery confirms the existence of the Higgs field. In the Standard Model, the phrase 'Higgs mechanism' refers specifically to the generation of masses for the W, and Z weak gauge bosons through electroweak symmetry breaking. In particular, the Higgs field helps explain why it's so weak. The breaking of symmetry triggers the Higgs mechanism, causing the bosons it interacts with to have mass.

The Higgs field in turn plays an integral role in our model for the weak nuclear force. The Higgs field was proposed in 1964 as a new kind of field that fills the entire Universe and gives mass to. The experimental challenges encountered stemmed from the distinct event phenomenology as determined by the colliders energy and the possible values for the Higgs boson mass, and from the capability of these colliders to deliver as much collision data as possible to fully explore the mass spectrum within their reach. First, just like the electron is an excitation in the electron field, the Higgs boson is simply a particle which is an excitation of the everywhere-permeating Higgs field. The Higgs boson, sometimes called the Higgs particle, is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics produced by the quantum excitation of the Higgs field, one of the fields in particle physics theory. In the Higgs bosons case, the field came first. This mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking first came to prominence in the phenomenon of superconductivity, as described in the theory of Bardeen, Cooper. We present a brief account of the search for the Higgs boson at the three major colliders that have operated over the last three decades: LEP, the Tevatron, and the LHC.
