Custodial symmetry is a concept in theoretical physics, particularly in the context of particle physics and the Standard Model, that refers to a specific type of symmetry aimed at understanding the relationships between different particles and their interactions, specifically in the context of the electroweak sector. In the Standard Model, the Higgs mechanism provides mass to the W and Z bosons via the Higgs field.
