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.
The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons.
Kétévi Assamagan’s contributions to physics go beyond his research at the Large Hadron Collider.
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.
In new papers by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations, physicists detail high-precision results from their latest Higgs boson studies.
Today marks the start of LHC Run 3. So what was #restartingLHC in April all about?
Scientists have learned a lot about the Higgs boson in the decade since they discovered it. But intriguing questions remain.
From The Big Think, June 29, 2022: Fermilab’s Don Lincoln highlights the 10 year anniversary of the Higgs boson, what we have learned in the past decade and what the next ten years of research and discovery may bring.
The 2013 documentary Particle Fever follows physicists from the start-up of the LHC through the discovery of the Higgs boson. Where are those physicists now?
