|
Neutrino
|
|
|
Z boson
|
|
|
Higgs boson

|
|
Tau

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The top quark is the particle that interacts most with the Higgs field-we know this because it is the heaviest known particle, and particles gain mass according to how strongly they deal with the field.
Detailed explanation-2: -The interaction of the elementary particles with the Higgs field prevents them from moving at the speed of light and causes them to have inertia, i.e. mass. The stronger the interaction of a given elementary particle with the Higgs field, the bigger its mass.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Higgs field does give mass to elementary particles like quarks and electrons.
