Higgs boson
Définition(s)
- The Higgs boson is the final, long-anticipated member of the so-called Standard Model of particle physics – the pre-eminent theory describing how particles and forces interact. The Higgs boson is hypothesized as giving all other particles mass through what is called the Higgs field. The search for the Higgs boson, which became like a Holy Grail quest among particle physicists, is nearing a conclusion. In July 2012, scientists announced results obtained using both the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider which confirmed the existence of a new particle with a mass of about 125 GeV (roughly equal to the mass of two copper atoms). This particle was subsequently recognised to be Higgs boson. (Encyclopedia of Science, by David Darling, https://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/H/Higgs_boson.html)
