  The discovery of the long awaited Higgs boson is described using data from
the CMS detector at the LHC. In the SM the masses of fermions and the heavy
gauge bosons are generated by the interactions with the Higgs field, so all
couplings are related to the observed masses. Indeed, all observed couplings
are consistent with the predictions from the Higgs mechanism, both to vector
bosons and fermions implying that masses are indeed consistent of being
generated by the interactions with the Higgs field. However, on a cosmological
scale the mass of the universe seems not to be related to the Higgs field: the
baryonic mass originates from the binding energy of the quarks inside the
nuclei and dark matter is not even predicted in the SM, so the origin of its
mass is unknown. The dominant energy component in the universe, the dark
energy, yields an accelerated expansion of the universe, so its repulsive
gravity most likely originates from a kind of vacuum energy. The Higgs field
would be the prime candidate for this, if the energy density would not be many
orders of magnitude too high, as will be calculated. The Higgs mass is found to
be 125.7$\pm$0.3(stat.)$\pm$0.3(syst.) GeV, which is below 130 GeV, i.e. in the
range predicted by supersymmetry. This may be the strongest hint for
supersymmetry in spite of the fact that the predicted supersymmetric particles
have not been discovered so far.
