With the help of innovative large-scale simulations on various supercomputers, physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University ...

The discovery of the Higgs was the first direct evidence of a field that permeates the Universe, the Higgs field. The varying interactions of other fundamental particles with this field explains ...

One such case is a quantum field proposed by several physicists in 1964, including British physicist Peter Higgs, for whom it was later named. Try to set the Higgs field to zero, and it will resist.

Higgs bosons stand out because they are the particles produced when the Higgs field—a field in particle physics theory that is supposed to give other particles mass—is excited by an ...

But as the universe expanded, it also began to cool. This chilling awoke a sleeping giant—the Higgs field. Particles suddenly took on unique personalities as they absorbed parts of the Higgs field, ...

At MIT’s Formaggio Lab, Peña’s work may help researchers pinpoint the elusive particle’s mass—and refine the fundamental laws ...

Gauge-Higgs Unification Models are an innovative class of theories wherein the Higgs boson is reinterpreted as a manifestation of extra-dimensional components of gauge fields. This framework melds ...

For example, we know the Higgs field can explain the mass of heavy particles. However, it is possible that a completely different mechanism provides mass to lighter particles.
