Higgs mechanism [′higz ‚mek·ə‚niz·əm]

(particle physics)

The feature of the spontaneously broken gage symmetries that the Goldstone bosons do not appear as physical particles, but instead constitute the zero helicity states of gage vector bosons of nonzero mass (such as the intermediate vector boson).

(quantum mechanics)

A mathematical procedure in which particles in a field theory gain or lose mass due to spontaneous breakdown of symmetry.
