The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ...

An undisputed success of the Large Hardon Collider (LHC) is the discovery of the last missing element of the Standard Model: ...

The complete Standard Model took a long time to build. Physicist J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897, and scientists at the Large Hadron Collider found the final piece of the puzzle, the ...

a magnetic relative of the mass-defining Higgs Boson particle, the team reports in the online edition of the journal Nature. The detection a decade ago of the long-sought Higgs Boson became central to ...

The Higgs boson went on to become a foundational prediction of the standard model of particle physics, nicknamed the “god particle” – a moniker that Higgs himself called “an unfortunate ...

The underlying theoretical construct in particle physics is called the Standard Model and it contains 6 quarks, 6 leptons, 4 gauge bosons, and one scalar boson (the Higgs boson), which interact ...

If a fermion, such as a quark or lepton produces a boson, which is then taken in by another fermion, then a force exists between the two fermions. The Higgs boson is responsible for the mass of ...

On July 4, 2012, scientists at the giant atom smashing facility at CERN announced the discovery of a subatomic particle that seems like a tantalizingly close match to the elusive Higgs Boson ...
