Vacuum expectation values are a cornerstone of modern particle physics, where they trigger spontaneous symmetry breaking and impart mass to fundamental particles via mechanisms such as the Higgs field.

The analysis

The retrieved literature, particularly theoretical reviews like [5] and model analyses like [8], robustly supports the established physics principle that non-zero vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of scalar fields drive spontaneous symmetry breaking and are directly responsible for the generation of mass in the Standard Model.
