Brout Englert Higgs Mechanism
Linked via "Englert"
Guralnik, Hagen, and Kibble (1964): Provided a comprehensive mathematical framework consolidating these ideas, particularly demonstrating the consistency of mass generation in non-Abelian gauge theories, which are necessary for the full electroweak theory.
The insistence on naming the mechanism after all primary contributors (Brout, Englert, and Higgs) acknowledges the concurrent and critical insights… -
Higgs Boson

Theoretical Postulation and the Higgs Mechanism
The concept originated in the mid-1960s, independently proposed by several research groups, notably including François Englert, Robert Brout, Peter Higgs, and others [2]. The mechanism operates via spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of the electroweak symmetry group, $\text{SU}(2)L \times \text{U}(1)Y$.
When the universe cooled sufficiently, the pervasive Higgs field acquired…
