Scientists study rare, one-in-a-trillion heavy boson collisions happening inside the LHC.
03/10/20
Only a fraction of collision events that look like they produce a Higgs boson actually produce a Higgs boson. Luckily, it doesn’t matter.
08/28/18
Scientists now know the fate of the vast majority of all Higgs bosons produced in the LHC.
06/04/18
Physicists see top quarks and Higgs bosons emanating from the same collisions in new results from the Large Hadron Collider.
04/10/18
It doesn’t seem like collisions of particles with no mass should be able to produce the “mass-giving” boson, the Higgs. But every other second at the LHC, they do.
02/20/18
Are these mass-giving particles hanging out with dark matter?
07/03/17
The announcement on July 4 was just one part of the story. Take a peek behind the scenes of the discovery of the Higgs boson.
11/17/16
Four physicists discuss Higgs boson research since the discovery.
08/04/16
The Higgs appeared in the second run of the LHC about twice as fast as it did in the first.
06/23/16
Higgs bosons should mass-produce bottom quarks. So why is it so hard to see it happening?
05/12/16
The Higgs field gives mass to elementary particles, but most of our mass comes from somewhere else.
09/15/15
The Higgs doesn’t quite fit in with the other particles of the Standard Model of particle physics.
09/01/15
The CMS and ATLAS experiments combined forces to more precisely measure properties of the Higgs boson.
07/30/15
Physicists discovered one type of Higgs boson in 2012. Now they’re looking for more.
03/18/15
Take a tour of one of the most important rooms at CERN.
03/17/15
The CMS and ATLAS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider joined forces to make the most precise measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson yet.
