The oscillations in the electromagnetic field are called photons those in the Higgs field are called Higgs bosons. The electroweak interactions in the Standard Model are described by a chiral SU(2)L U(1)Y symmetric gauge theory. By rights, all particles should be without mass and zipping around freely. Particles are represented by oscillations or persistent changes in these fields. This theory explains how fundamental particles acquire their. , G.Passarino, S.Uccirati Raquel G´omez-Ambrosio HiggsTools Universita & INFN Torino & CMS CERN Planck Conference 2015, Ionannina, GR May 27, 2015. This is something like an electromagnetic field. Unified Field Theory, also referred to as the Grand Unified Theory in its more complex state, is a physical theory that attempts to unite the four known forces in nature - the Electrostatic, the Strong Nuclear, the Weak Nuclear, and the Gravitational. The Higgs boson is the fundamental particle predicted by the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. NLO Higgs Eective Field Theory and Framework arXiv:1505.03706. I hope that will be plenty of motivation for many of you to follow the sequence of articles that follow - which I’ve decided belatedly to store in another location. The Higgs Field In quantum field theory, the fundamental entities are not particles but fields, like the electromagnetic field. The theory hypothesizes that a sort of lattice, referred to as the Higgs field, fills the universe. Not that it won’t take a little learning and a little thinking but a lot of that learning and thinking is also basic to particle physics, so anyone who tries this will not only learn about the Higgs but will also come away with a deeper understanding of particle physics in general. But for someone who has a vague memory of a physics course from advanced pre-university or beginning-university education, it’s quite reasonable to try. One of the most significant scientific discoveries of the early 21st century is surely the Higgs boson, but the boson and the Higgs Field that allows for that magic particle are extremely difficult.
I’m still thinking about how best to explain this to a completely general audience. The workings of the Higgs field - how it gives mass to the particles of nature what the Higgs particle or Higgs “boson” has to do with it why we knew some aspects of the Higgs field before the LHC but needed the LHC to tell us about the particle why the particle in turn will tell us more about the field - these are all mysterious to the curious non-expert.įortunately, the story of the Higgs field and its particle really is not so complicated.
