| Higgs boson | has definition The particle or particles associated with the bundles of energy in the Higgs field. Such particles are analogous to the photons that are associated with the electromagnetic field. The standard model of particle physics predicts one electrically neutral Higgs particle which has not yet been found, but which will be sought in upcoming particle accelerator experiments. The grand unified theories predict many Higgs particles, but they are too massive to be accessible at existing or foreseeable accelerators. |  |
| has definition A hypothetical, spinless particle that plays an important role in the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam electroweak theory (and in other theories involving spontaneous symmetry breaking, e.g. GUTs). | |
