Higgs boson

(particle implied by quantum field theory)

The Higgs boson is an elementary boson that was theorized based upon quantum field theories in the 1960s, then a detection by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was confirmed in 2013. Associated with it is a physical field (the Higgs field), which was theorized as necessary for the symmetry breaking which led to the division (during the very early universe) between electromagnetism and the weak force. It is said that it is the Higgs field that makes some particles have mass.
