How does the Higgs boson interact with a proton?
assistant
The Higgs boson interacts with a proton by causing the proton to decay. Protons are made up of three quarks and one anti-quark, and protons are stable because the strong nuclear force holds them together. However, the Higgs boson is a particle that carries a force called the weak nuclear force, which is responsible for proton decay. The weak nuclear force is responsible for causing the proton to decay into a neutron, an electron, and an anti-neutrino.
