The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle in particle physics, proposed in the 1960s by physicist Peter Higgs and others to explain why particles have mass. According to the Standard Model of particle physics, particles acquire mass through interactions with a field permeating the universe called the Higgs field. The Higgs boson is the smallest vibration of this field and is produced in high-energy particle collisions, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland. Its discovery in 2012 by experiments at the LHC confirmed the existence of the Higgs field and provided a crucial piece of evidence supporting the Standard Model. The Higgs boson's discovery was a significant milestone in our understanding of the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe, contributing to our knowledge of the origin and nature of mass and the fundamental structure of matter.
