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. It has not yet been observed in nature, but it is expected to be seen at the Large Hadron Collider that is currently being built in Europe. It has been dubbed the "God Particle" by some science writers.
