Comments on the clue
1.I needed the explanation. Very clever clue.
2.Lovely topical reference to the elusive Higgs boson, though 'with' jars slightly in the surface.
3.Ingenious and imaginative, but the "with" in the middle of the anagram spoils it.
4.Good to see a physics-based clue
5.Pretty innovative, well done.
