Higgs occurs in the theory of weak interactions.

Sorry if you are left out already but the discussion so far was really hovering around high school level.
Among other Sheldon Glashow, Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam realized that to give a theory of weak interactions, the way Newton gave the theory of gravitation, you need another extra particle. This is called Higgs particle. You use it and you have a theory not only for weak interactions but the same theory incorporates your earlier electromagnetic theory.

Of course you shall complain where Higgs fits into the picture.

Actually not only Higgs but many other people fit into the situation very snugly but that is a different and equally fascinating journey.

And your gaze returns to you, dazzled, a weary.
