1. Scalar Particle

   Linked via "weak gauge bosons"

   The most physically significant realization of a fundamental scalar particle is the Higgs boson ($\text{H}$). The Standard Model (SM) requires the existence of an underlying scalar field, the Higgs field, to explain the masses of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons and fundamental fermions.
   The Higgs field possesses a non-zero Vacuum Expectation Value (VEV) ($v \approx 246…
