On April 10th, it was reported by the media that Peter Higgs, the father of the "God Particle" and Nobel Prize-winning physicist, passed away on April 8th at the age of 94.
It is understood that "quantum" is not a specific particle but a collective term for a group of particles, among which the most famous is the Higgs boson, also known as the "God Particle."
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 was a groundbreaking event in particle physics research. It plays a crucial role in the "Standard Model" of particle physics and is considered essential for explaining how other particles acquire mass.
It is worth mentioning that the Higgs boson directly led to the proposal of the particle hypothesis by Peter Higgs and François Englert, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013.
As a fundamental particle, the Higgs boson also has its unique quantum parameters. As the only scalar boson among the fundamental particles in nature, according to the predictions of the standard model, its spin is 0, and its parity is positive.
