The Higgs boson, sometimes the "God particle" mentioned in the popular media. This is a hypothetical massive elementary particles exist which is expected by the Standard Model of particle physics.The Higgs boson is an integral part of the theoretical Higgs mechanism.
High Noon close to the largest manhunt in the history of physics.
At Eastern timer 8 on Tuesday morning, scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, will give a report on the search for the Higgs boson - known as the "God particle" called - whose discovery would justify modern theory, how to get the mass of elementary particles.
The report comes amid rumors that the two competing armies of scientists screened the rubble of hundreds of billions of proton collisions in the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, outside Geneva, the two finally see hints of what might be the elusive particles, when more data is collected in the next year.
Otherwise, say the investigators, that in a year they must have sufficient data to exclude the existence of the most popular version of the Higgs boson, sending theorists back to their tables to find another explanation of why particles have mass.
Q: What is the Higgs boson, and why is it important?
A: The name refers to the Higgs at least four things. First, there is a Higgs mechanism, the ultimate responsibility for the masses of elementary particles. " This is certainly one of the most difficult aspects of particle physics is to explain, but basically something like a load is not an electrical charge passes through the vacuum state without particles .
It will look at the world ...
Among them is Lisa Randall, a Harvard theorist and author, the particles of the new book "knocking on heaven's door. How physics and scientific thought of the universe and today's world of light" in an interview with Dennis Overbye of The Times, Dr. Randall provided the guide to action for those of us in the stands.
