Higgs Physics

Higgs physics studies the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle discovered in 2012 at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. It is crucial for understanding why other particles have mass, as the Higgs field interacts with them, granting mass in a process called "spontaneous symmetry breaking." Phenomenology involves predicting the Higgs's behavior and decay in collider experiments, helping us explore the universe's fundamental structure. Discoveries related to the Higgs boson may reveal new physics, including dark matter or other particles beyond the Standard Model, deepening our understanding of the universe.
