As we know, the Higgs boson gives mass to other particles. But
here is onething which is not clear for me. I mean, I do not
understand how the Higgs boson gives mass to other particles?
Does anyone could explain me more explicitly how procedure goes
that the Higgs boson gives mass to other particles. The Higgs
mechanism gives mass to the spin-1/2 particles in the standard
model by forming a condensate which allows particles with
different charge to swap helicity. In quantum field theory, a
fermionic spin-1/2 particle comes in two helicities, the spin
along the direction of motion, and if the helicity doesn't
change, that particle is massless. A massive spin-1/2 particle
consists of two helicities swapping with each other, and the
mass is the rate of helicity swapping. In order to produce a
massive spin-1/2 particle, you need two particles of opposite
helicity with the same charges, which can flip into each other
without violating charge conservation. This is not the case in
the standard model--- the fermions
