The Higgs boson is an elementary scalar boson in the Standard Model of particle physics. It is a quantum excitation of the Higgs field, a field that exists throughout space and has a nonzero vacuum value. Through the Higgs mechanism, interactions with this field give rest mass to massive elementary particles, including the W and Z bosons, quarks, leptons, and the Higgs boson itself. The Higgs boson has zero spin, positive parity, no electric charge, and no color charge. It is highly unstable and decays almost immediately into other particles. A particle with the expected properties was discovered by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in 2012, strongly confirming the existence of the Higgs field and completing the experimentally verified components of the Standard Model.
