Higgs-like

adjective2

1. •
   Imbuing elementary particles with mass through the breaking of electroweak symmetry and the interaction with some field.

   • In the MA gauge, the Higgs-like mechanism takes place at the infrared scale of QCD. — 2001
2. •
   (of a particle) Similar in mass and other properties to the proposed Standard Model Higgs boson.

   • 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. — 2003
