Higgs boson - Wikipedia
WEBIn the Standard Model, the Higgs boson is a massive scalar boson whose mass must be found experimentally. Its mass has been determined to be 125.35 ± 0.15 GeV/c2 by CMS (2022) [36] and 125.11 ± 0.11 GeV/c2 by ATLAS (2023). It is the only particle that remains massive even at very high energies.

The Higgs boson - CERN
WEBThe Higgs boson can't be “discovered” by finding it somewhere but has to be created in a particle collision. Once created, it transforms – or “decays” – into other particles that can be detected in particle detectors. Physicists look for traces of these particles in data collected by the detectors.
