About the upcoming sensation reported by British media, citing evidence scientists working at CERN and other leading centers of world physics, ITAR-TASS reported. According to researchers, about the discovery of the Higgs boson will be announced on Wednesday, July 4, during a scientific seminar in the headquarters of the CERN in Geneva.
At a workshop at CERN invited British scientist, Professor Emeritus, University of Edinburgh, 83-year-old Peter Higgs, who in 1964 predicted the existence of this particle. According to the standard model, it occurs under the influence of the Higgs field that gives matter a lot. This field is impossible to capture devices, and the only evidence of his existence should be the discovery of the Higgs boson.
According to physics, after the Big Bang, marked the beginning of the Universe 13.7 billion years ago, the power generating the Higgs boson, gave rise to the formation of galaxies, stars and planets from the primordial chaos. According to scientists, the discovery of this particle has become the largest discovery in the field of knowledge of the laws of the Universe over the past decades. The search for the Higgs boson was one of the main objectives of the construction of the Large hadron Collider - a giant accelerator of elementary particles, which are scientists from CERN. The Collider, located under the ground on the border of Switzerland and France, its construction cost 10 billion dollars. If the Higgs boson is not found, it would prove the limitations of the standard model.
In result they had to search for alternative theories of the origin of mass in accordance with the so-called new physics. On the Large hadron Collider the search for the Higgs boson independently from each other are two groups of scientists - Atlas and CMS. During their research, the scientists have found about 300 particles resembling the Higgs boson. However, the accumulated data is still not enough to declare that God particle is found.
