Scientists THINK that
this boson gives mass to elementary particles.
Not exact matches
That's why the Scientific Community is «DESPERATE» to find the «ELUSIVE» Higgs
Boson Particle, aka God Particle, and the Higgs Field, which are believed to
give matter its
mass when interacted with.
The Higgs
boson is postulated as that which, through its interaction with the «Higgs field»,
gives mass to particles such as electrons and quarks which are basic to standardphysical theory.
Particle accelerators have discovered a hierarchy of sub-atomic and sub-nuclear particles characterised by order and symmetry, while theory predicts the possible existence of other particles such as the Higgs
boson (colloquially called «the God particle» because it is thought to
give mass to other particles).
A Higgs
boson must decay into particles its field
gives mass to.
The Goldstone
boson is supposed to be part of the Higgs mechanism, which
gives mass to other particles.
Peter Higgs suggested that a
mass -
giving Higgs field pervades all space, in order to explain why the W and Z
bosons have
mass but the photon, another
boson, doesn't.
And it's a shortcut to say the Higgs particle
gives mass to other particles — it's really the «Higgs field,» the underlying stuff the
boson is created from, that makes other particles massive.
The Higgs
boson, the particle credited with
giving other particles
mass, might also
give rise to dark energy, the strange force that is causing the universe to fly apart ever faster.
Our best models can't explain why the
mass -
giving Higgs
boson is so small.
This week, the Nobel physics committee announced they had settled on Peter Higgs and François Englert, two of the gaggle of theorists who proposed a mechanism that
gives force - carrying fundamental particles
mass and that required the existence of the now - famous
boson.
On 13 December, two teams at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, near Geneva in Switzerland, reported hints of the Higgs
boson, the elusive particle thought to
give all others
mass.
It had — it took some time to first prove the consistency of our theory which was up to the beginning of the 70's the standard model was being done and only after that could one look for a test because a standard model was wonderfully made, except for the missing element which was that
Boson whose condensation is what
gives the
mass particle and the short - ray forces.
They will be looking for signs of the Higgs
boson, the long - sought particle that is supposed to
give other particles their
masses, and also for entirely new particles that could
give a first glimpse of the laws of physics at higher energies.
Slamming protons and antiprotons together at 40 tera - electron volts (40 trillion eV), the SSC would have put out more than enough energy to create the elusive Higgs
boson, sometimes called the «God particle,» which
gives other particles their
mass.
The SSC would have
given physicists a good chance of detecting the Higgs
boson, a theoretical particle which could be the key to understanding the origins of
mass (This Week, 11 September).
It
gives everything
mass, and now some people think the Higgs
boson sparked the stupendous split - second inflation that made the cosmos we see today
It is also able to
give particles their
mass — rendering the Higgs
boson unnecessary.
In 2012, the machine detected the elusive Higgs
boson, the manifestation of an invisible field that
gives some elementary particles their
mass.
