The Higgs particle is one of the 17 particles in the Standard Model, which is the model of physics describing all known basic particles. Bosons are thought to be particles which are responsible for all physical forces. Higgs particle is a boson and so are photon, W and Z bosons and gluon.
Higgs Boson cannot be easily detected. It does not last long because it is massive when compared to other particles. There are usually no Higgs Bosons around because it takes so much energy to make one. It was mainly for this reason that the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was built.
The existence of Higgs Boson was first suggested by Peter Higgs in the 1960s. Scientists at CERN tentatively confirmed on 14 March 2013 that they had found a Higgs particle.
