Higgs boson ‘God particle’ remains a quantum mystery after 12 years

by

The discovery of the Higgs boson has been a fascinating journey for physicists around the world, since the particle was first detected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) about twelve years ago. This monumental discovery, which confirms the existence of the elusive particle theorized nearly half a century earlier, has opened up new avenues for … Read more

Theoretical physicists discover that the Higgs boson does not appear to contain harbingers of new physics

The Higgs boson (blue) can be created by the interaction of gluons (yellow) during proton collisions. Protons consist of two up quarks (red) and one down quark (purple), so strongly bound by gluons that in the sea of ​​virtual particles (gray) heavier quarks and antiquarks, for example beautiful quarks, can appear, whose presence also influences … Read more
