Higgs Boson question

[EDG]

Looking at the "Higgs Q&A" at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16116236 reminded me of something...

If you look at the table of particles at the bottom of the page ( http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/image...rd_mod_464.gif ), you'll see that they've put the Higgs boson on a new row of the table. Does the whitespace to the left of it imply that there may be some as yet undiscovered equivalents to the fermions - that are not quarks or leptons - that may be associated with the Higgs in the standard model? Or is this just an meaningless artefact of the table presentation?

[Ivan Viehoff]

There is no correspondence between the 4 bosons (excluding Higgs) and the 4 rows of quarks/leptons, it is merely convenient that it makes the table look rectangular. So, yes, it is "just a meaningless artefact of the table presentation".
