Scalar sector of electroweak theory: physics of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Higgs boson

Description

The LHC is specially designed to investigate the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry responsible for the generation of the masses of all particles. The theoretical consistency of the Standard Model requires the existence of a new scalar force field.
