A Higgs boson is an elementary particle whose existence is predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. It serves a key role in explaining the origin of mass of other elementary particles of the Standard Model. However it has not yet been observed in nature. It has been dubbed the "God Particle" by some science writers.
