Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Since then, it has continued to be heavily ...

We knew the HIggs boson decayed into bosons; now we’ve seen it crumble into fermions. ATLAS On July 4, 2012, two experiments (ATLAS and CMS) at CERN announced the discovery of a new boson particle.

For decades, physicists sought the Higgs boson: the theorized “God particle” whose alter ego, a field pervading the entire universe, endows matter with mass. In 2012, scientists finally found the ...

Weighted Z-photon(γ) mass distribution of events satisfying the H→Zγ selection in data. Events are weighted by the expected signal and background in a Zγ mass window containing 68% of the expected ...

The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z boson and a photon. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

A decade has passed since humanity officially discovered what makes our existence possible. On July 4, 2012, scientists announced the observation of the Higgs boson, the elusive particle that gives ...

Six years after discovering the Higgs boson, physicists have observed how the particle decays—a monumental contribution to scientists’ understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics and the ...
