HIGGS MECHANISMProposed in 1962 by Philip Warren AndersonDeveloped in 1964 by three groups of scientists:- Francois Englert and Robert Brout- Peter Higgs- Gerald Guralnik, C. R. Hagen and Tom KibbleAll six physicists were jointly awarded the 2010 J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics for this work

SAKURAI PRIZE WINNERS

THE GOD PARTICLEPeter Ware Higgs (1929)Higgs bosons ‘’The most sought-after particle in modern physics’’The only elementary particle predicted by the SM that has not been observed yet

HIGGS MECHANISMIn SM it refers to the generation of masses for W and Z gauge bosons through electroweak symmetry breakingThe higgs boson existence is not a necessary consequence of the HM Fermions can also acquire mass as a result of their interaction with the higgs field
