Yet the easiest way to sell it to politicians was to frame it as a search for a single particle, the Higgs boson.

当然将这个项目推销给政客的捷径是把它包装成为研究单一粒子的项目，希格斯玻色子。

The Higgs singlet is related to another particle which is also yet to be found, the Higgs boson.

和希格斯单线态粒子相关的另一种粒子——希格斯玻色子，同样尚未被发现。

The Higgs boson is a hypothesised particle which, if it exists, would give the mechanism by which particles acquire mass.

希格斯玻色子是一个假说中的粒子。如果它存在，我们就知道了赋予粒子以质量的物理机制。

Detecting the Higgs boson takes a lot of particle collisions -- there's only one observed event in every trillion proton-proton collisions, CERN said.

CNN: Scientists more certain that particle is Higgs boson

Indeed, until they do so, they are reluctant to definitively crown the boson, preferring often to say just that they have found a "Higgs-like" particle.

BBC: Cosmos may be 'inherently unstable'

It may be about to happen in particle physics - if neither the Tevatron nor Large Hadron Collider spots a Higgs boson soon, the standard model that scientists have worked with for years may have to be abandoned, or at least seriously reformed, and another built in its place.
