God particlen.

Brit.

/ˈɡɒd ˌpɑːtᵻkl/, U.S.

/ˈɡɑd ˌpɑrdək(ə)l/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: god n., particle n.

Etymology: < god n. + particle n.Apparently coined by U.S. physicist Leon Max Lederman (b. 1922); compare:1993 L. M. Lederman & D. Teresi God Particle i. 22 Why God Particle? Two reasons. One, the publisher wouldn't let us call it the Goddamn Particle, though that might be a more appropriate title, given its villainous nature and the expense it is causing. And two, there is a connection, of sorts, to another book, a much older one [sc. the Bible].2006 L. M. Lederman in L. M. Lederman & D. Teresi God Particle (new ed.) Pref. p. xi As for the title, The God Particle, my coauthor, Dick Teresi, has agreed to accept the blame... I mentioned the phrase as a joke once in a speech, and he remembered it and used it as the working title of the book.

Particle Physics. colloquial.

The Higgs boson; = Higgs particle n. at Higgs n. 2a.With punning reference to both the particle's elusiveness and its significance in particle physics: see note in etymology.
