Higgs field
Higgs field is a scalar field postulated within the Standard Model of particle physics. It is associated with the mechanism by which certain elementary particles acquire mass.
The Higgs field is discussed in particle physics, quantum field theory, and high-energy physics.
Status
The existence of the Higgs field is supported by observations of the Higgs boson and measurements of particle masses. Ongoing research examines its properties and role in possible extensions of the Standard Model.
