  3. Higgs mechanism • Proposed in 1962 by Philip Warren Anderson • Developed in 1964 by three groups of scientists: • Francois Englert and Robert Brout • Peter Higgs • Gerald Guralnik, C. R. Hagen and Tom Kibble • All six physicists were jointly awarded the 2010 J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics for this work

  5. The god particle • Peter 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

  6. Higgs mechanism • In SM it refers to the generation of masses for W and Z gauge bosons through electroweak symmetry breaking • The 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
