The J.J. Sakurai prize for Theoretical Particle Physics was presented in 2010 to Carl Hagen, Tom Kibble, Peter Higgs and Gerald Guralnik, among others. Carl's son ordered a custom Higgs boson to be made with a tag reading "GHK boson" honoring the three below. The entire talk is available on YouTube. Here is the part where he shows the slide of the Higgs toy (at end of video).


Kibble, Hagen, Guralnik with custom Higgs boson toy.


Hagen was kind enough to plug the Particle Zoo at the end of the talk!


Try saying this fast five times:
"For elucidation of the properties of spontaneous symmetry breaking in four-dimensional
relativistic gauge theory and of the mechanism for the consistent generation of vector boson masses."
