Higgs boson
The
Higgs boson
is an
elementary particle
in the
Standard Model
of
particle physics
. It is the
quantum excitation
of the
Higgs field
—a fundamental
field
of crucial importance to
particle physics
theory, first suspected to exist in the 1960s, that unlike other known fields such as the
electromagnetic field
, takes a non-zero constant value almost everywhere. The question of the Higgs field's existence has been the last unverified part of the
Standard Model of particle physics
and, according to some, "the central problem in particle physics".
