THE HIGGS BOSONWhat is a boson?Named after the physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, it's a subatomic particle in quantum mechanics, that adds mass. According to the Standard Model, other bosons are the gauge bosons: the photon, the gluon, the z and the w particle, and the force carrier scalar boson: the Higgs. Based on the theoretical discovery of Peter Higgs and Francois Englert (for which they received a Nobel prize in 2013), it was eventually confirmed at CERN on July 4, 2012 by the ATLAS (headed by professor Brian Cox) and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. This milestone discovery helped solidify the multiverse theory and the birth of the universe via the Big Bang.
