When was the existence of the Higgs Boson confirmed?
Answer
The HiggsEcouter boson is an elementary particle whose existence helps to explain the breaking of the unified electroweak interaction into two interactions and thus explain why some particles have mass and others do not. Its existence was confirmed experimentally in 2012 through the use of the LHC and led to the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to François Englert and Peter Higgs in 2013.
