This particle is a leftover excitation and only manifestation of a field with the same name and is predicted to very rarely be a product of high energy particle collisions. It was joked to have a mass of 125 billion electron volts before its discovery due to two independent teams at CERN having correlating bumps in their data. As of July 4, 2012, this is the last fundamental particle predicted by the Standard Model to be discovered experimentally. For 10 points, name this boson responsible for providing mass and colloquially referred to as the "God particle".
