Understanding Higgs Boson...!

As we know from the previous session Higgs Boson was discovered on 4th July 2012 at CERN. LCH [Large Hadron Collider] which on sustainable development and upgrading found the Higgs Boson, commonly known as The God particle. After going through a very intensive research we found the mass of the Higgs Boson, which is around 125 GeV/C2.
In this session we will see, what exactly is Higgs Boson? What is Higgs field? Quoting a statement, “Higgs Boson is the tiniest one which gives mass to everything”. Having this in mind, we also have another question, what is the relation between Higgs Boson and Higgs field? What is that exact one that is forming a mass?
We will start the session from the atom, having this at the middle, let’s look at its either sides. We have studied that atom is the smallest one which combines to make numerous things, which is not visible to the naked eye.
It consists of Electrons, Protons and Neutrons. Among this, electron was considered to be the first and foremost matter for the existence of this universe initially, but later if that is the case, what makes an electron? Which is giving mass to the electron? Questions were raised similarly.
Nucleus of any atom consists of protons and neutrons. These two are in the combined form, so here comes another question, “what makes them to stay combined?”
These protons and neutrons are made up of Quarks. ‘Two up quarks and one down quark’ makes up protons. As in the same way neutrons are made of ‘two down quarks and one up quark’. These ‘up and down’ quarks are the types of quarks, it also includes ‘strange, charm, bottom and top’ are also types of quarks.
The formations of quarks are completely based on the collision of a Hadron [proton]. On collision the tinniest pieces fades away due to particle decay. And moreover they also become energies.
In that case, the so formed energies can be stable and unstable, the stable energies form ‘up and down quark’ and the unstable energies form the remaining types of quarks.
Further going beyond quarks, we will end up in Higgs Boson and Higgs field. We might be in an assumption that, number of Higgs Boson will make some mere mass and as it goes it adds up the mass. But it actually happens in the other way, it’s the Higgs field that provides mass. It purely depends on the interaction of the Higgs Boson with the Higgs field. Let’s look little deeply to have a clear idea about this.
Number of Higgs Boson forms Higgs field, the very lighter Higgs Boson particle will decay faster and those ones that decay slower interacts with the Higgs field. Slower the interaction, they are likely to form mere mass and moves to the next stage. Let’s have an example to understand this, imagine you have invited all of your friends to your birthday party. Your entire home is filled with your friends. Now consider all your friends as Higgs Boson. To your party you have two guests who knew you and not your friend’s gang, when they come to wish you. They won’t have any interaction with any of your friends. So they will reach you quicker.
Likewise if any of the Higgs Boson particles doesn’t interact with the Higgs field, they are not likely to form mass.
In the other case, imagine you have your childhood friend entering your birthday party, that childhood friend of yours is already a thickest friend of all in your home. Now they will interact with your childhood friend and obviously he/she will reach you slower. Likewise, the Higgs Boson particles that interact with Higgs field will likely to form some mere mass.
Now it’s very clear that, it’s the Higgs field that provides the fundamental mass to any particle and also to the universe. And, the very most important thing is, Higgs Boson [The God Particle] is the excited particle [particle in excited state] of the Higgs field. That’s why Higgs Boson rapidly undergoes particle decay and is very difficult to estimate its properties.
