Higgs boson

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.

For the first time, physicists have a statistically significant measurement of the joint polarization of W and Z bosons.

From der Standard (Germany), October 23, 2022: A new report on the mass of the Higgs ten years after its discovery. The CMS detector team has measured the uncertainty of the mass of the Higgs boson more precisely and the new findings have been published in nature.

From the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, July 4, 2022: Why is the Higgs boson named the “God Particle”? Christened by Fermilab’s director from 1979–89, Leon Lederman, he popularized the name of the Higgs boson in the world of particle physics and won the Nobel Prize in 1988 for his work on neutrino research.
