This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if nothing else, the most expensive particle of all time. It's a bit of an unfair ...

Because the Higgs boson exists, we know that the field exists. Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – ...

The most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. For particle physicists, this was ...

Martin Bauer does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

July 4, 2012, was all about the Higgs boson: The particle physics community rejoiced at its success, and there was hardly a newspaper or news program that did not report on the spectacular discovery.

As the legendary British physicist Peter Higgs passed away at the age of 94, it marked the end of an incredibly exceptional academic career in the present-day publication-hungry academic climate.

FOR half a century, finding the Higgs boson was top of particle physicists’ to-do lists. Its eventual discovery in 2012 was celebrated as the final piece of the puzzle to complete the “standard model” ...

学生、特に科学を専攻していない学生たちに対して、ヒッグス粒子をどう説明したらいいのだろう。 まずは呼び方だ。「神の粒子」と呼ぶのは時代遅れだ。また、個人的には「ヒッグス・パーティクル」とは言いたくない（間違いというわけではないが）。
