The Hidden Particle

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle predicted by the Standard Model theory of particle physics, which though never observed is believed to be the key element in the mechanism that explains how other particles acquire their mass and a crucial element in the formation of cosmos after the Big Bang. While scientists are still looking for the hidden particle with some of the most sophisticated equipment ever created, other researchers propose theories without the Higgs boson. Learn more about the long-sought particle, the Standard Model theory and its extensions, as well as the Higgsless models in this book.

The Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle predicted by the Standard Model theory of particle physics, which though never observed is believed to be the key element in the mechanism that explains how other particles acquire their mass and a crucial element in the formation of cosmos after the Big Bang. While scientists are still looking for the hidden particle with some of the most sophisticated equipment ever created, other researchers propose theories without the Higgs boson. Learn more about the long-sought particle, the Standard Model theory and its extensions, as well as the "Higgsless" models in this book.
