"When the electroweak symmetry is broken, the W+ gets its mass by eating the positively charged Higgs, the W- by eating the negatively charged Higgs, and the Z0 by eating the neutral Higgs. The other neutral Higgs becomes the Higgs boson, detected and discovered earlier this decade at the LHC. The photon, the other combination of the W3 and the B boson, remains massless.(BigThink, The Higgs boson’s most captivating puzzle still remains) The Higgs boson's energy level is about 125 GeV. That means its existence is very short. The Higgs boson is the last particle, that researchers could connect into a standard model. The Higgs boson may be the last particle, that we can find using particle accelerators that fit on Earth. Maybe the Higgs boson is not the particle that Peter Higgs predicted in 1963, but that is speculation. The Higgs boson is unique because it's the only known scalar boson. There is suspicion that there could be other scalar bosons. But those scalar bosons are...
