Examples
“The existence of a Higgs boson would be the simplest solution to the problem of electroweak symmetry breaking.”
“We also know⟳ other things about the Higgs boson. If it were much more massive, a problem would occur⟳. Since Higgs bosons interact with particles with a large mass, Higgs bosons would also interact with themselves (as they have⟳ mass too). This “self interaction” puts an upper limit⟳ on the mass of the Higgs boson as less than about 500-1000 GeV.”
“In the higher Higgs boson mass domain, the Higgs boson decays dominantly to a pair of b-quarks.”
“Have⟳ you ever heard about the Higgs Boson Blues? / I'm going down to Geneva, baby / Gonna teach⟳ it to you”
