General note:	The Higgs boson is the capstone of the standard model of particle physics, a comprehensive theory that describes every particle and interaction ever discovered in laboratory experiments. Without the Higgs, the standard model wouldn't work; with it, it successfully accounts for experimental data with exquisite prescesion.
