How did the Higgs Boson, a theoretical sub-atomic particle, gain rock star status? This session will explain how the search for the Higgs was embedded in popular culture, as a way of inspiring more young people to study science. The session will include specific examples of relevance to ...
From this we hope to learn how matter was formed, and how the structures on which life depends emerged. Widespread coverage of this huge project has led many to believe that in finding the Higgs boson, as the book jacket states, we "will finally understand the origins of mass -the last ...
Our universe might end if our valley really isn't the lowest one around. Physicist Benjamin Allanach of the University of Cambridge explains: "The shape of the Higgs potential is determined precisely by the Higgs mass." The observed 126 GeV mas...
Wells, How well do we need to measure the Higgs boson mass and self-coupling? , Phys. Rev. D 88 (2013) 055024 [ arXiv:1305.6397 ] [ INSPIRE ].R. S. Gupta, H. Rzehak, and J. D. Wells, "How well do we need to measure the Higgs boson mass and self-coupling?," ArXiv e-...
Theremay be more than one Higgs boson. One theoretical model of new physics predicts five Higgs bosons. Fundamental particles in our universe acquire mass through their interactions with the Higgs field. Are there more Higgs bosons? So far,no significant excess has been observed. In the scenario...
How the Higgs Boson was Discovered 来自 掌桥科研 喜欢 0 阅读量: 16 作者: A Arce 摘要: The standard model of particle physics describes how ele- mentary particles and a set of forces between them lead to all matter and most higher interactions, thereby providing a basis for understanding ...
As Tanishq Abraham explains the Higgs Boson to me, what's surprising me most is how natural it seems coming from his mouth.At age 9, Tanishq is already well on his way to completing a college degree. It will be the first, I'm certain, of many. “A typical comment is that we are...
A new biography of the physicist and the particle he predicted reveals his disdain for the spotlight
As for what likely gives these particles mass in the first place, the culprit is a famous particle you might’ve heard of: the Higgs boson. Or, more specifically, the Higgs field it generates. The effect of this field is often described as a molasses through which particles trudge—the fa...
Stephen Hawking warned that the Higgs boson could potentially lead to “catastrophic vacuum decay” in the universe, caused by “a bubble of the true vacuum expanding at the speed of light.” Indirect quotes An indirect quote lets you capture or summarize what someone said or wrote without usin...
