Stueckelberg action is a special case of the process named for this entity, and the non-zero vacuum expectation value for this entity is essential to its namesake process. A complex spinor with four real components represents this particle's field, and the collision of a fermion and an antifermion is thought to form a virtual W or Z boson that can emit this particle. This particle emerged during the cooling of the universe when spontaneous symmetry breaking occured, and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN detected this particle in 2012. For 10 points, name this elementary particle responsible for mass.
