Pronunciation: [hˈɪɡz bˈɒsən] (IPA) 
Higgs boson is the elementary particle in physics which gained media attention after its discovery was announced in 2012. Scientists refer to this particle as the "God particle" because it is believed to give mass to other particles in the universe. However, many synonyms have been used to describe this elusive particle. Some of the common terms include the Higgs particle, Higgs boson particle, Higgs scalar boson, or the BEH boson after the three physicists who first proposed its existence. Other terms include the Brout-Englert-Higgs boson, the Englert-Brout-Higgs-Guralnik-Hagen-Kibble boson, and the Scalar boson. Despite the different names, all these terms refer to the same fundamental particle that has played a significant role in modern physics.
