God Particle: Particle called "Higgs boson"

God Particle: Particle called "Higgs boson"

GENEVA — A nearly 50-year bid, to explain a riddle of fundamental matter, faces a key moment on Wednesday when physicists unveil fresh data in their search for a particle called the Higgs boson, the basic building block of the universe.

Finding the Higgs would vindicate an intellectual framework for the nature of the cosmos called the Standard Model. These results mark a significant breakthrough in our understanding of the fundamental laws that govern the universe.

Peter Higgs, the 83-year-old British physicist who proposed the existence of the Higgs boson in the 1960s, was at CERN to welcome the news. Clearly overwhelmed, his eyes brimming, he told the symposium: "It is an incredible thing that it has happened in my lifetime."

The Higgs theory explains how particles clumped together to form stars, planets and life itself. Without the Higgs particle, the particles that make up the universe would have remained like a soup, the theory goes.
It is the last undiscovered piece of the Standard Model that describes the fundamental make-up of the universe. The model is for physicists what the theory of evolution is for biologists.

Devised in the 1970s, the Standard Model identifies the building blocks for matter and the particles that convey fundamental forces. It is considered a hugely successful theory but has several gaps, the biggest of which is why some particles have mass and others do not. The hypothesis is that Higgs bosons exist in a treacly, invisible, ubiquitous field created by the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years ago. When some particles encounter the Higgs, they slow down and acquire mass. Others, such as particles of light, encounter no obstacle.

Higgs called it a great achievement for the Large Hadron Collider, the 27-km (17-mile) long particle accelerator built in a tunnel underneath the French-Swiss border where experiments to search for the Higgs boson have taken place......
