March
15, 2013 - CERN Physicists Think New Particle IS A Higgs Boson.
“Clear evidence that the new particle is the
Standard Model Higgs boson
still would not explain why gravity is so weak,
and we have
the mysteries of dark matter to confront.”
- Patty McBride, Ph.D., Head, CMS Center, Fermilab, Chicago
This 2011 image provided by CERN,
shows a real CMS
proton-proton collision in which
four high energy
electrons (green lines and red towers) are observed
in a 2011 event.
The event shows characteristics expected from
the decay
of a Higgs boson. The European Organization for Nuclear
Research,
called CERN, said Thursday March 14, 2013, all the 2012
data shows what they
found
last year was a version of a Higgs boson, also called the “God particle.”
Since the first July 2012 “God particle perhaps found” excitement at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN Geneva, physicists have studied 2.5 times more data and most are now convinced the LHC created at least one type of Higgs boson. Half a century ago the Higgs boson was theorized to explain mass in elementary particles. Is there only one Higgs boson? Or several different types? No one yet knows, but without the Higgs Field from primordial Higgs bosons, this universe would have no matter as we know it.
