Higgs boson

A new feasibility study for constructing machines that will enable further understanding of the Higgs boson and the exploration of the next energy frontier in particle physics was the focus of researchers participating in the U.S. Higgs Factory – Future Circular Collider Workshop.

The discovery of the Higgs boson announced on July 4, 2012 by teams working at the ATLAS and CMS confirmed the theoretical framework proposed in the 1960s by Peter Higgs and others.

Fermilab Distinguished Scientist Patricia McBride was invited to Santa Monica, California to accept the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS collaboration.

Physicists in the United States support the development of an off-shore Higgs Factory — a collider perfectly tuned to mass-produce Higgs bosons.

The science world is mourning the loss of British theoretical physicist, Peter Higgs who passed away at the age of 94. He was the namesake of the boson that was discovered in 2012. The Higgs boson was a crucial to the theoretical edifice that physicists built known as the standard model of particles and fields.

Indirectly testing this theory, motivated by the mysterious mass of the Higgs boson, could be within reach for experiments at the Large Hadron Collider.

The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons.

The quest to understand the small mass of neutrinos is also a quest to discover new particles.

Kétévi Assamagan’s contributions to physics go beyond his research at the Large Hadron Collider.

The Higgs boson is the only fundamental particle known to be scalar, meaning it has no quantum spin. This fact answers questions about our universe, but it also raises new ones.
