The LHC has determined the mass of the Higgs particle – and it is changing
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.
The 10th anniversary of the discovery of the “God Particle”, please remember the physics giant who named it
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.
10 years later, Higgs boson discoverers publish refined measurements
In new papers by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations, physicists detail high-precision results from their latest Higgs boson studies.
Wait, didn’t the LHC already “restart?”
Today marks the start of LHC Run 3. So what was #restartingLHC in April all about?
Four things physicists still wonder about the Higgs boson
Scientists have learned a lot about the Higgs boson in the decade since they discovered it. But intriguing questions remain.
Higgs boson was discovered 10 years ago. What have we learned about it since then?
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.
Particle Fever: Where are they now?
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?
Reverberations of the Higgs
The discovery of the Higgs boson inspired young people around the world to pursue a career in science and technology.
Double trouble Higgs
Scientists worried Higgs pairs would be too rare for LHC experiments to find. But by using machine learning, they now are getting tantalizingly close.
