The Standard Model of particle physics successfully establishes that the Higgs mechanism generates particle masses through electroweak symmetry breaking.

The analysis

The claim is a well-established foundational tenet of the Standard Model of particle physics, supported by both theoretical frameworks and empirical discoveries such as the observation of the Higgs boson. The retrieved papers consistently reference the Higgs mechanism as the standard explanation for electroweak symmetry breaking and mass generation, even when proposing alternative or extended theories.
