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/c 2 by CMS (2022) [36] and 125.11 ± 0.11 GeV/c 2 by ATLAS (2023). It is the only particle that remains massive even at very high energies.

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.
