Although I’ve been slowly revising the Higgs FAQ 2.0, this seemed an appropriate time to bring the Higgs FAQ on this website fully into the 2020’s. You will find the Higgs FAQ 3.0 here; it explains the basics of the Higgs boson and Higgs field, along with some of the wider context.
For deeper explanations of the Higgs field:
- if you are comfortable with math, you can find this series of pages useful (but you will probably to read this series first.)
- if you would prefer to avoid the math, a full and accurate conceptual explanation of the Higgs field is given in my book.
Events: this week I am speaking Tuesday in Berkeley, CA; Wednesday in Seattle, WA (at Town Hall); and Thursday outside of Portland, OR (at the Powell’s bookstore in Cedar Hills). Click here for more details.
