The Higgs boson turns ten

The discovery of the Higgs boson, ten years ago, was a milestone that opened the door to the study of a new sector of fundamental physical interactions. We review the role of the Higgs field in the Standard Model of particle physics and explain its impact on the world around us. We summarize the insights into Higgs physics revealed so far by ten years of work, discuss what remains to be determined and outline potential connections of the Higgs sector with unsolved mysteries of particle physics. Ten years since the discovery of the Higgs boson, the exploration of the Higgs sector, as this overview shows, has progressed far beyond original expectations, but many research questions still remain open.
