The Higgs boson - CERN
WEBStars, planets and life could only emerge because particles gained their mass from a fundamental field associated with the Higgs boson. The existence of this mass-giving field was confirmed in 2012, when the Higgs boson particle was discovered at CERN.
What's so special about the Higgs boson? - CERN
WEBWhat's so special about the Higgs boson? Real CMS proton-proton collision events in which 4 high energy muons (red lines) are observed. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of a Higgs boson but is also consistent with background Standard Model physics processes.
How did we discover the Higgs boson? - CERN
WEBThe Higgs boson was discovered, almost 50 years after first being proposed, by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN in 2012. But why did it take so long to find it? With a mass of more than 120 times that of the proton, the Higgs boson is …
The Higgs boson: a landmark discovery - ATLAS Experiment at CERN
WEBWhat is the Higgs boson and why does it matter? Animation of the reconstructed mass from Higgs candidate events in two-photon decays. (Image: ATLAS Experiment, CERN) Physicists describe particle interactions using the mathematics of quantum field theory, in which forces are carried by intermediate particles called bosons.
Higgs Boson | CMS Experiment - CERN
WEBThe Higgs boson is the fundamental particle predicted by the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. This theory explains how fundamental particles acquire their mass. The search for the Higgs boson is one of the most fascinating scientific adventures.
The Higgs boson, ten years after its discovery | CERN
WEBJul 4, 2022 · The landmark discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider exactly ten years ago, and the progress made since then to determine its properties, have allowed physicists to make tremendous steps forward …
Higgs boson - Wikipedia
WEBIn the Standard Model, the Higgs boson is a massive scalar boson whose mass must be found experimentally. Its mass has been determined to be 125.35 ± 0.15 GeV/c 2 by CMS (2022) [36] and 125.11 ± 0.11 GeV/c 2 by ATLAS (2023). It is the only particle that remains massive even at very high energies.
