Detailed study of the Higgs boson is at the centre of the recent European Strategy for Particle Physics update. Here we review the present status of this physics and discuss the new insights expected …
• ATLAS submitted a paper for publication on July 31, 2012 which includes the WW channel which increases the significance to 5.9 σ corresponding to a background fluctuation probability of 1.7×10-9 …
High mass Higgs found quickly. Low mass Higgs will take several years!
This mechanism for electroweak theory, where a gauge boson acquires mass as a result of its interaction with a non-vanishing vacuum field, was first proposed in 1964 by Higgs. It is now called …
We review the role of the Higgs field in the Standard Model of particle physics and explain its impact on the world around us.
The Higgs Boson is borne out of the Higgs Mechanism through which the W and Z bosons (which mediate the weak force) acquire mass. Despite all of the Standard Model’s triumphs, the Higgs …
Peter Higgs was born 29 May 1929 in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. He graduated with a BS and first-class honors in physics from King’s College London in 1950. In 1954, he earned his PhD at …
