The Higgs boson’s decay into muons happens in only about one in every 5000 Higgs decays. So, the team had to search for a ...

The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle discovered on July 4, 2012, by researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, Switzerland.

The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z ...

Prof Higgs proposed that the particle gave matter mass and held the physical fabric of the universe together. Everything we see around us is made of atoms, inside of which are electrons, ...

The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe.

Higgs predicted the existence of the Higgs boson particle, helping explain how matter formed after the Big Bang. His death at 94 was announced by the University of Edinburgh, where he was a professor.

Higgs predicted the existence of a new particle — the so-called Higgs boson — in 1964. But it would be almost 50 years before the particle's existence could be confirmed at the Large Hadron ...

Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed the existence of the so-called “God particle” that helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang, has died at age 94, the ...

The University of Edinburgh says Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed the existence of a sub-atomic particle that came to be known as the Higgs boson, has died at 94.

Higgs predicted the existence of a new particle the so-called Higgs boson in 1964. But it would be almost 50 years before the particles existence could be confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider.
