This paper summarises the work done by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, and by the teams of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, that led to the discovery of a new particle, with mass near 125GeV and properties consistent with the ones predicted for the Standard Model Higgs boson. An ...
In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider announced the observation of a Higgs boson at a mass of around 125 gigaelectronvolts. Ten years later, and with the data corresponding to the production of a 30-times larger number of Higgs bosons, we have...
Anyway, to sum up: the main signature of the Higgs boson, like other unstable particles, will be this resonance peak that appears in a graph produced by aggregating data from many billions or trillions of collisions. Hopefully this makes it a bit clearer why there's going to be a lot of...
particle physics. Much evidence points to the fact that the standard model is a low-energy approximation of a more comprehensive theory. Several of the standard model issues originate in the sector of Higgs boson physics. An order of magnitude larger number of Higgs bosons, expected to be exami...

The Standard Model(SM) Higgs boson was predicted by theorists in the 1960 s during the development of the electroweak theory.Prior to the startup of the CERN Large Hadron Collider(LHC), experimental searches found no evidence of the Higgs boson. In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments ...
The first edition of Engines of Discovery celebrated in words, images and anecdotes the accelerators and their constructors that culminated in the discovery of the Higgs boson. But even before the ...
The Standard Model of particle physics has been tested by many experiments and describes all observed phenomena up to the highest particle interaction energies. The existence of a scalar particle, the Higgs boson, is central to the theory. The Higgs boson was the only fundamental particle that ha...
In fact, the vast amounts of data generated in particle physics have for decades required the use of automated algorithms for data analysis21,33. The importance of ML in this area is exemplified by the central role it played in the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider...
The most anticipated discovery in the history of physics – known officially as the Higgs boson and informally as the god particle – has been announced atCern, the European nuclear physics centrenear Geneva. Two scientific teams have detected a subatomic particle that matches the predicted character...
