The confirmation of the existence of the Higgs boson from "summary" of The God Particle by Leon M. Lederman,Dick Teresi
In July 2012, scientists at CERN announced the discovery of a new particle that was consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson. This elusive particle had been predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe. The Higgs boson is crucial to this model because it is responsible for giving other particles mass. The confirmation of the Higgs boson's existence was a major milestone in the field of particle physics. It validated the theoretical framework that scientists had been working with for decades and provided crucial insights into the nature of the universe. The discovery was the result of years of painstaking research and experimentation, involving thousands of scientists from around the world. The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle that is thought ...
