Higgs boson is more than ever – La Voz de Galicia

Higgs boson is more than ever. The elusive God particle finally hunted in late 2013 in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) after its existence was predicted theoretically 50 years ago by Higgs, Englert and Brout, behaves more and more of a completely identical which was described by physicists who last year finished getting the Nobel.

The Higgs boson, the particle that gives mass to the other and key part of the standard model physics, which explains how it is and all known matter is formed, also decays into fermions, the building blocks of matter, among which are the different types of quarks and leptons. The discovery, which was made in Physiscs Nature , is the result of new data from the LHC’s Atlas experiment.

So far only had decomposition observed in other bosons, the carrier particles of the various forces of nature, but noted that the theory could also decay into fermions, the building blocks of matter. And this is just what has been proven now.

“may seem an insignificant detail to ordinary mortals, but it is a huge step forward. Now we know that particles such as electrons get their mass through the Higgs field, which is really exciting, “explains Markus Klute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and director of the study. “This is a huge step forward,” says Professor Vincenzo Chioccia, Institute of Physics, University of Zurich, who has analyzed the data. There is not any doubt that Higgs boson is.
