Bookmark or Share- What's so special about the Higgs boson? - CERNThe particle that we now call the Higgs boson first appeared in a scientific paper written by Peter Higgs in 1964. At that time, physicists were working on describing the weak force – one of the four fundamental forces of Nature – using a framework called quantum field theory.
- Peter Higgs: science mourns giant of particle physics - NatureThe British physicist, who has died aged 94, predicted the existence of the Higgs boson in the 1960s.
- The Higgs boson - CERNStars, planets and life could only emerge because particles gained their mass from a fundamental field associated with the Higgs boson. The existence of this mass-giving field was confirmed in 2012, when the Higgs boson particle was discovered at CERN.
- Peter Higgs, physicist behind Higgs boson particle, dies at 94 | AP NewsHiggs’ work helps scientists understand one of the most fundamental riddles of the universe: how the Big Bang created something out of nothing 13.8 billion years ago. Without mass from the Higgs, particles could not clump together into the matter we interact with every day.
- The Higgs boson, ten years after its discovery - CERNThe Higgs boson, ten years after its discovery. The landmark discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider exactly ten years ago, and the progress made since then to determine its properties, have allowed physicists to make tremendous steps forward in our understanding of the universe. 4 July, 2022.
