Superconductivity

the mechanism by which a gauge field coupled to a broken continuous symmetry gains a mass, seen in the screening of electromagnetic fields inside a superconductor.

In superconductivity, Anderson-Higgs mechanism refers to the mechanism by which a gauge field coupled to a broken continuous symmetry gains a mass, seen in the screening of electromagnetic fields inside a superconductor. This meaning comes from Anderson (1963) in Physical Review.[1]
