Are there more Higgs bosons? So far,no significant excess has been observed. In the scenario considered for this search, the existence of new extra Higgs bosons with masses of less than 600 GeV (five times the mass of the discovered Higgs boson) becomes increasingly unlikely. ...
Based on these results, I examine how accurately one can predict the upper bound on the mass of the lightest MSSM Higgs boson.Haber, Howard Edoi:10.48550/arXiv.hep-ph/9901365Howard E. Haberphysics
Fortunately, we have an alternative: the actual historical development of the subject. Back in the early 1960’s when the Higgs mechanism was being proposed (by Anderson, Englert, Brout, Higgs, Hagen, Guralnik, and Kibble), they weren’t trying to give mass to fermions. They were trying to...
As for what likely gives these particles mass in the first place, the culprit is a famous particle you might’ve heard of: the Higgs boson. Or, more specifically, the Higgs field it generates. The effect of this field is often described as a molasses through which particles trudge—the fa...
When it does venture out of its den, the octopus uses one of several methods to get around. The preferred method of locomotion for many octopuses is a form of walking. Rows of suckers on the underside of each arm enable the octopus to move itself forward along the sea floor. Because its...
How Higgs bosons give mass? Where are leptons found? What happens when quarks bind together? How many flavors of quarks are there? What subatomic particles are found in the nucleus? Where is the strange quark found? What do freckles have to do with quarks?Explore...
by now even our best physics fails completely to provide answers. Until we make further progress towards a “theory of everything”, we won’t be able to give any definitive answer. The most we can say with confidence at this stage is that physics has so far found no confirmed instances...
So come on, Universe. Don’t give us a Higgs. You’re better than that.

What is smaller than a Higgs boson? When did the Large Hadron Collider begin to run experiments? What gives the Higgs boson mass? What is the International Linear Collider? How much energy does a quasar give off? How many watts does a particle accelerator use? How much mass must be conver...
The answer, Higgs concluded, lay in a force field that permeated the universe. He thought an as yet unidentified particle carried a force from this field that interacted with other particles to give them mass: in a sense, it defined them. ...
