The existence of the Higgs boson was first postulated in the 1960s as a crucial component of the Standard Model of particle physics. However, experimental confirmation remained elusive for decades. The construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) marked a significant milestone in this quest, providing the means to explore particle interactions with unprecedented energy levels. In 2012, scientists at CERN announced the detection of a particle consistent with the properties of the Higgs boson, validating decades of theoretical predictions.

I meant to hold off on posting this illustration of the results from a Particle Accelerator for a later time as I planned on refining and working more on this piece. But since hearing of Peter Higg's passing, I've decided to post this early. Dedicated to my unending love and curiosity for Quantum Mechanics, and Peter Higgs himself who theorized the existence of the Higgs Field and Higgs Boson. Good night, sir.

...The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have been diligently investigating the properties of this unique particle and searching to establish the different ways in which it is produced and decays into other particles.

At the Large Hadron Collider Physics (LHCP) conference this week, ATLAS and CMS report how they teamed up to find the first evidence of the rare process in which the Higgs boson decays into a Z boson, the electrically neutral carrier of the weak force, and a photon, the carrier of the electromagnetic force. This Higgs boson decay could provide indirect evidence of the existence of particles beyond those predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics.

The decay of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a photon is similar to that of a decay into two photons. In these processes, the Higgs boson does not decay directly into these pairs of particles. Instead, the decays proceed via an intermediate "loop" of "virtual" particles that pop in and out of existence and cannot be directly detected. These virtual particles could include new, as yet undiscovered particles that interact with the Higgs boson.

things i experienced with my delightfully nerdy older brother during the holidays

Older brother: So, what happens when they run out of dinosaur to make Dino nuggets? Dad: They’ll go extinct. Him: Hang on - do we have enough DNA for gene sequencing dinosaurs? Could we actually make Dino meat in a lab? Dad: Course we can! Haven’t you ever seen Jurassic Park? ___________________________ Him, a software engineer, getting off a three hour meeting about developing an AI program, and then spending five minutes trying to toast a bagel in a toaster oven bc the picture at the bottom explaining how to do it was too complicated ___________________________ Me: what do you know about the Higgs-Boson particle? Older Brother: Well, I know what a boson is but every time I’ve actually studied it I’ve felt like a boson myself. ____________________________ Dad: Get in, the car has butt warmers! Him: OOOH, will they make my butt look hot?

Also, I realize I'm 20 days late, but apparently Peter Higgs, of Higgs boson fame, passed away earlier this month; some prayers for his soul and his family, perhaps?

In 2004, Peter Higgs refused to go to Israel to receive the Wolf Prize because he was pro-Palestine. If you are an academic, you can and should be outspoken about this!
