Yang-Mills-Higgs theory

Yang-Mills-Higgs theory is a fundamental framework in theoretical physics that describes how elementary particles interact through forces. It combines two key ideas: Yang-Mills theory, which explains the behavior of particles via gauge symmetries and force carriers (like photons for electromagnetism), and the Higgs mechanism, which gives particles mass. Essentially, this theory helps scientists understand the fundamental structure of the universe, including how particles acquire mass and the interactions that govern their behavior, forming the foundation of the Standard Model of particle physics.
