Word: Higgs mechanism Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Higgs (“a surname”) + mechanism; named after British physicist Peter Higgs, who is credited with its discovery. 1. The proposed interaction between elementary particles and the Higgs field that imbues the particles with mass and breaks the electroweak symmetry.
Word: Higgs-like Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From Higgs (“a surname”) + -like, from Peter Higgs, credited with the Higgs mechanism and Higgs boson. 1. Imbuing elementary particles with mass through the breaking of electroweak symmetry and the interaction with some field. Labels: not-comparable Example: In the MA gauge, the Higgs-like mechanism takes place at the infrared scale of QCD. Example: In this model gravity emerges from the small wiggling of the string, which results in the gravity field on a large scale. This emergent Higgs-like field results from small wiggly vibrations of the string. 2. (of a particle) Similar in mass and other properties to the proposed Standard Model Higgs boson. Labels: not-comparable Example: So there will be three massless (or nearly massless, if there is some breaking of the new O(4) symmetry) "dark" Nambu-Goldstone bosons I call k, as well as a new massive Higgs-like boson called S. Example: Indeed, there is an important region of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) where there is just one Higgs-like particle accessible to the LHC with properties almost identical to the Standard Model Higgs.

Example: Q-ball collisions are studied numerically on a two dimensional lattice for a range of Q-ball charges. Example: If you're going to fly inside Mercury's orbit and hurl a bomb into the sun to burst its Q-ball (non-topological soliton) into pieces, I suggest that home may require a theoretical solution.

To overcome a prominent competitor, gaining their position, especially by making a smart, sudden move. Labels: idiomatic Example: What may bar EastEnders from acceptance in the U.S. is not immorality but unintelligibility. PBS may even distribute a glossary of Cockney phrases so that Americans will know what a character means when he or she is "over the moon," "skint," "pipped to the post," or "in the club" (happy, broke, defeated, or pregnant). Example: Both were pipped to the post in 1888 by the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, a student of Hermann von Helmholtz (himself one of the towering figures of nineteenth-century German physics) who announced to the world that he had found a way of propagating and detecting these long-sought-for electromagnetic waves.
