There's a bit of history here where condensed matter physicists enjoy finding analogues and porting over mathematical ideas and theories applied primarily in higher energy particle physics. See: the humble skyrmion that started its life as a doomed particle physics model. The rub here is calling is a Higgs MODE and specifically not a higgs particle. The scientists aren't really at fault here, since it looks like within the field the Higgs mode is well understood and the main aim of these paper is other scientists.
