The following is a link to a \PMlinkexternal{simplified demonstration using $Mathematica^{TM}$ for the generation of the Higgs boson}{http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/TheHiggsParticle/}, a (hypothetical) fundamental, neutral scalar particle $H^0$ which is supposed to be detected `soon' by one of the two Tevatron, particle accellerators presently in operation.
One can obtain a free download of this demonstration and play the
oversimplified simulation as a color animation with the $Mathematica^{TM}$ Player (which is also a free download that does not save however).
The simulated experiment seems to indicate that unless the available energy
is not greater than about 150 GeV the Higgs boson is not readily observed.
According to the current Standard Model theory, various particles are supposed to acquire mass only via their interactions with the neutral scallar Higgs boson, $H^0$. (A Nobel prize has already been predicted for such a hypothetical discovery that would close the gap between the current Standard Model theory and experimental, high energy physics. There have already been unconfirmed rumors of Higgs bosons generated at the Tevatron in US.)
