Higgs boson

CERN, the European research organization responsible for operating the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has released a report outlining a proposed particle accelerator that would be nearly four times as long and 10 times as powerful as its predecessor.

The Large Hadron Collider has been responsible for some of the most important breakthroughs in scientific history, most notably the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2013. New Atlas is celebrating the 10-year anniversary with a look back at its achievements and what it could help solve in the future.

Apparently, if you take the data coming from one of the LHC's collision chambers and fool with it a bit, you can actually listen to music being made by protons colliding. That's exactly what a new project called the Quantizer has done – and you can listen in.

Current knowledge of physics suggests the universe should have collapsed into nothing after the Big Bang, but new research makes a case for interactions between gravity and Higgs particles providing a stabilizing effect.

Fresh evidence has come to light supporting the theory that the particle detected at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 is indeed the elusive Higgs boson. The work confirms that the potential Higgs boson does exhibit the decay characteristics that would be expected under the Standard Model.

Following a last-minute delay, physicists Francois Englert and Peter Higgs were today jointly awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for their independent invention of the Higgs mechanism, which supplies fundamental particles with mass.

The largest single piece of experimental scientific apparatus is CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The LHC's ATLAS detector, one of two that discovered the Higgs boson, has a control building adorned with a magnificent mural. How it happened is a fascinating glimpse at the crossroads of art and science.

The massive boson recently discovered at CERN may or may not be the Higgs boson - we're going to try and clarify the situation for you.

Numbers are yet to be crunched and the data analysis goes on, but one thing appears to be certain: scientists at CERN have discovered a new boson, and it's probably the Higgs particle.

The chi b(3P) is the first new particle that has been clearly observed using the Large Hadron Collider.

After analyzing data from two experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, physicists believe they are close to pinning down the elusive Higgs boson.
