What's the Matter with the Higgs Boson?

[Swede]

If you know one thing about quantum mechanics, it's that particles have both wave and particle properties. But today we'll talk about high energy interactions, and that means talking about "fields." You might suppose that fields and waves are the same; they are not. You see, with a quantum-mechanical wave, the assumption is that there is just a single particle, and we're describing the probability of finding it in one place or another. With fields, particles pop into and out of existence constantly.
