The foundations of the mass generation mechanism of particles are reviewed.
The Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) process within the standard model (SM)
and the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is used to explore the
present status of the Higgs Mechanism along with the constraints in detecting
the Higgs particles in experiments. The possible explanations and
generalizations for the case that the Higgs particles should not appear or to
couple the Higgs Mechanism (because of their gravitational nature of
interaction) are also iscussed in detail in view of the Higgs field gravity.Comment: 13 pages, no figures. Final version based on original to appear in
the Indian Journal of Physic
