Question

Froehlich, Morchio, and Strocchi reinterpreted a phenomenon named for this scientist because that mechanism is usually described in a way inconsistent with Elitzur’s theorem that there is no spontaneous symmetry breaking of gauge theories. That mechanism named for this scientist (15[2])is the relativistic version of one proposed by (*) Anderson and in it a field named for this physicist acquires a vacuum expectation value in a mexican hat potential. (10[1])That field named for this person is the only fundamental spin 0 particle in the standard model. Interactions with a boson named for this physicist are responsible for the fundamental lepton masses. The LHC discovered in 2012, for 10 points, a boson named for what physicist, the final particle of the standard model to be confirmed? ■END■
