The words were said in a joint statement by the people of the Atlas experiment and the CMS experiment in Sarn, after analyzing 2.5 times more data than what was available when the discovery of the particle was first announced in July 2012
At the Moriond conference held today, Atlas and CMS researchers at the Large Hadron Collider LHC in Sarn presented new preliminary findings that provide additional explanations for the particle discovered last year.
After analyzing 2.5 times more data than was available at the time of the discovery in July, they discovered that the new particle looks more and more like the Higgs boson as predicted theoretically. The particle is connected to a mechanism that provides mass to the elementary particles.
The question that remains open is whether this is the Higgs boson of the standard model of particle physics, or perhaps the lightest particle in a series of several bosons as predicted by some theories dealing with what is beyond the standard model? Finding the answer to this question will take time.
The question of whether it is a Higgs boson or not is determined by its connections with other particles and the quantum properties. For example, the assumption about the Higgs boson is that it has no spin, and in the standard model its parity - a measure of how its mirror image will behave - should be positive.
The scientists at CMS and Atlas compared several possibilities of spin and parity combinations and in all of them there was a preference for having no spin and having parity. This, combined with the measured interactions of the new particle with other particles, clearly indicate that it is a Higgs boson.
"The initial findings, together with the entire series of data obtained in 2012, are amazing and for me it is clear that we are talking about the Higgs boson, although we still have a long way to go to know what type of Higgs boson it is," says CMS spokesperson, Joe Incadala. "The beautiful result represents a huge effort by many people who dedicated their time and experience. They indicate that the new particle has the properties of spin and parity of the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model. We have now started a measurement program in the area where the Higgs was discovered." says Atlas spokesman Dave Charlton.
"To determine whether this is a Higgs boson of the standard model, the scientists will require an example to precisely measure its decay rate to other particles and compare the results to predictions. The discovery of the boson is a very rare event - it requires about a trillion collisions between protons for each observed event. To characterize all the decay models it will be necessary to perform many more experiments at the LHC.
Prof. Amit Givon from the Rekh Institute of Physics, an expert in high energy physics: "For me as a scientist, the dramatic thing happened a long time ago. Now the question is whether this is exactly the particle we teach about in the standard model of the elementary particles, the simple model, or is there evidence beyond that. In the meantime, I don't think there is any evidence beyond that. You see something that, within the framework of the possible statistical analysis, does not go beyond the simplest thing that can be."
Prof. Eliezer Rabinowitz from the Rakach Institute of Physics, chairman of the Israeli National Committee for High Energies, expert in field theory and elementary particles: "Every particle has at least two characteristics - mass and spin. Mass can have any value, spin can have integer or half-integer values. Another property that a particle can have is the parity property. A particle can be even or odd. Scientists want to find the Higgs boson because it is an important cog in the Standard Model of elementary particles, and can explain how the weak interactions between particles, which account for radioactive decay, can be short-lived.
"Most of the properties of the Higgs particle are known at the theoretical level. For example, its spin is zero and the parity property is odd. Its mass is unknown. Regarding the found particle, the researchers ruled out with a high degree of significance that it is odd and that its spin is different from zero. "
After this particle was discovered, and we considered its simple properties, the Higgs particle of the standard model can have more properties. The researchers hope that it will have more features, and that it will be possible to check whether it shows deviations from the standard model or not."

There are simply people who have learned to read... so they call themselves....what's the problem? :)
It is very interesting to hear rebukes from people who do not understand a thing and a half about the subject they are talking about.

To call *Khartiflock* the sacred Higgs particle? You exaggerate. You pissed off both God and the physicists. You're really not nice... and get off the lawn.
The whole matter with the Higgs boson indicates a huge deterioration of modern physics, and a final step. There is no proof or empirical indication of the existence of the particle or its function, there is no "physical need" for it, no deficiency is recorded due to its absence.
In my opinion, the search for his brother is likened to the search for "Khartiflocks" or "crispotaloids" or any arbitrary name that will be attached to an idle research devoid of any motive and reason, both the idea of the existence of this particle and the Schlomiel searches for it are not subject to slander and rebuke from the principles of criticism and the philosophy of science set forth by Karl Popper.
David and Eyal
The Higgs is a quantum field. Excitations of the field produce particles. Similar to the electromagnetic field
The coupling between charges but only its excitations give a particle, the photon. It is the Higgs field that gives
Mass to the elementary particles, quontot (transformation into quanta) of the field create the Higgs particle itself
I agree with David's question. If the Higgs boson decays so fast how is it able to give mass to protons and electrons. They are supposed to depend on it regularly, right?
Ehud, I thought they existed in nature and everywhere actually, including in the void, didn't they? If they do not exist in nature then how do they give mass to other particles?

They will not try to find the Higgs antiparticle because there is no such particle. The Higgs is a boson and there are no bosons that are also elementary particles
Antiparticle or in other words they are their own antiparticle. Tried to look for partners for the elementary particles
Supersymmetric means every boson has a fermion partner and every fermion has a boson partner. Although supersymmetry is
It is a similar beautiful theory because from the experiments at Tsarn it can be ruled out and it is possible that nature did not choose this option
Eyal
It is necessary to understand what is the meaning of the discovery of particles in an accelerator. These particles do not really exist in nature. Must
produce them. The greater their mass, the more energy is needed to produce according to Einstein's well-known formula
In addition, the greater their mass, the less time they "live" ie decay into other particles. The Higgs boson is
A very massive particle therefore requires so much time and effort to produce it in an accelerator
Nice, you did a favor and increased the height of the text box to 4 lines, it's still not enough.
Let's do a comparison with some other popular sites:
Vint: 12 lines.
Voila: 6 lines.
Maariv: 13 lines.
Calcalist: 11 lines.
Do you save space on the knowledge site?
Nicholas: I have no idea what you are talking about, there is no option to expand the text box by dragging the mouse, and I have never seen such an option on any site, maybe you just dreamed it.
Irena
You are a little wrong, but in general you are not right. Since the model you mentioned does not fit into the reality of the consensus mainly because there is a conflict between the model you invented and the Lema-Kova model. And it's already a story that you won't be able to disprove. You don't have the right master key.
For those who are a bit more interested in the details (actually, in the Atlas detector summaries), I wrote about it here:

A. The Higgs boson does not interact AM.
B. Its decay time is very short
The truth is that Iran is right in most things.
I just had a class on this in my Masters in Physics last semester and the lecturer brought up the exact same criticism of the Higgs boson.
What is interesting is that it even appears in a footnote in the first article that my father mentioned but for some reason since then it seems to have disappeared from the pages of scientific history.
Despite this, Irena will note that the Motularnik-Goldfarb laws are not necessarily applicable to understanding the behavior of particles in a collision in the context of ecodiflicatorism, but constitute a special case of the law.
The site is excellent and important and it is excellent to have a good platform to exchange ideas and learn.
It's a shame that some of the commenters don't understand the field and react like children to someone who tries to shed more light on the article!
I hope the editor of the site will clean up their nasty comments.
Oren, you can increase and change the size of the comment box.
Just drag the lower left corner of the box, the one with the lines.
Why was it actually so difficult to discover the aforementioned particle even though it is so important and even quite large in terms of its mass? I would expect it to be one of the first particles discovered experimentally.
Miracles!
☺☺☺☺☺☺

Avi Shalom, may I ask why the new box for writing messages is so narrow in height? Is it so hard to understand that it is not convenient to edit a comment when you see at any given moment only two lines of it?
I can't understand the logic behind this, I feel that while editing a message I'm looking at it through a drinking straw, it's really oppressive and uncomfortable, I've never come across anything like this before.
Another thing, you re-edited the website, and it really looks much better, but what about the possibility of enlarging the photos attached to the article to their original size? This is a technology from the early days of the internet, it's one simple line of code in HTML, isn't it time for this ancient technology to reach the science site already?
LOL…
1. Kapralsky-Nabotorki-Shumaturkos,
2. The spaces of the void in their smallest derivatives
3. Motolarnick-Goldfarb laws.
4. Ecodoplicatorism.
All these concepts that are not known to anyone in the West were invented by hard-working genius scientists from Eastern Europe whose fame was heaped upon them solely because they were of Eastern European origin. Schmutzorkus lol…
Nissim, Nir Lahav and I have already written more than once that the author of the article intended to call it God Dam Particle because of its elusive nature (it is no more divine than any other particle), but the editor of the scientific journal decided to shorten the title so as not to upset the religious...
But that's what he's been called ever since.
Irena - where do the things you say come from????
And my father - it's a shame that the expression "particle of God" is used. God has nothing to do with the matter ……
and Prof. Haim Duchovni from the TV series "X files? And close to Spielberg's Jurassic Mountains...
just a question?
If the particle has indeed been discovered, will they now try to discover the "Higgs anti-boson" or "Kaparelsky-Nabotorky-Shumaturkus anti-particle" as suggested by Irena (within the arguments for anti-matter)? Does the term antimatter refer to every atomic particle?
In fact, this particle should be called a Kapralski-Nabotorky-Shumaturkus particle after the scientists who first discovered its probability within the new formulation of the Motularnik-Goldfarb laws.
I think that in recent years it has been called the Higgs boson mainly because of aggressive public relations on the part of the University of South Carolina and the rights to the name were given while ignoring the work of great scientists just because they are of Eastern European origin.
Beyond that, as they predicted for this particle amazing applications in the fields of vacuum and resonance research, being a resonant-replicating material (echoduplicatorism) that allows testing of vacuum coefficients in their smallest derivatives.
