This will be the first time that these particles have been detected outside of the Tevatron accelerator at Primilab in the USA. The scientists hope that the top quarks that are theorized to be associated with the Higgs boson will help find it too
Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Sern, Switzerland have discovered several candidates for the title of the heaviest subatomic particle yet discovered. This was announced at the 35th conference of the International Society for High Energy Physics (ICHEP) which is currently taking place in Paris. The accelerator has been operating smoothly for 14 months after many delays caused by various malfunctions, although it is still operating at half of the maximum power that will be reached after the engineers are sure that no malfunction will occur as a result of the power increase.
Several possible discoveries of the top quark were recorded in the Atlas facility (where there is a large Israeli presence) and in the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment. Nine events corresponding to that of the top quark were observed in Atlas, while CMS observed 3-4 such events. In any case, physicists require additional data to support the conclusion that top quark particles were indeed created in the accelerator. If it is true that the top quark particle was discovered, then this is the first time that this particle has been discovered in a laboratory outside the USA. The physics of the top quark is not fully explained and therefore the study of these particles will provide an opportunity to produce good science from the accelerator for the first time.
The scientists say the discovery could help physicists in their pursuit of the elusive Higgs boson, also known as the God particle, because scientists suspect there is a special connection between the two particles. So far, scientists have failed to discover the Higgs boson. This is an essential component of the theory that tries to explain the interactions between the basic particles known as the overall model - the standard model. Finding it is one of the stated goals of the physicists at CERN, as stated for example in a significant number of articles published on the science website.
The top quark particle was first discovered in 1995 at the Tevatron accelerator operated at the Permilab laboratories in Illinois, and since then top quarks have been discovered in abundance there but they have never been detected outside of Premilab. Meanwhile, in light of the new discoveries and the competition created between the accelerators, the American government announced its willingness to extend Tevatron's operation for another three years - until 2014.

Those who slander are those who point to nonsense that Yehuda writes and has nothing to answer them.
As I said in my previous comments, I will not respond to slanderers
Good evening to everyone else
Sabdarmish Yehuda
Regarding the larger accelerator that is in the planning stages.
This is probably referring to the linear accelerators CLIC and ILC (I can only speculate), which are built in a different configuration than the LHC, will function in a different way (in positron and electron collisions, not proton beam collisions), and will be used for a different purpose, but with Yehuda, it seems, all physical research of today drains into dark mass (his favorite punching bag) and the Higgs boson.
"LHC is still working at 50% capacity and this does not prevent others from coming up with such an idea" (in the quote I changed the name of the organization Saren to the name of the accelerator. The organization Saren is on its scientists, operating at full capacity. Also, I noticed that you like to correct grammatical errors, so upload and upload It's two different things). The sentence is equivalent to:
"It's still hot in August and that doesn't stop people from buying an apartment."
Further to Yehuda's engravings:
Not discovering the Higgs boson in itself is not an achievement. But not discovering the Higgs boson at the LHC is an achievement, and I'll explain to you why, my friend-due to the lack of knowledge-required-to-discuss-the-issues-you-discuss-on-a-regular basis.
The standard model gives a prediction (as opposed to your "theories") for the energy of the Higgs boson - 1.4 tera electron volts. This means that when the LHC runs at full power, and the boson is not detected, this will be the first experimental proof (since this is the first accelerator that definitely passes this energy) that the Higgs boson does not exist.
proof The non-existence of the Higgs boson would be a very important achievement, because it would invalidate the theory of the standard model (something you have been very wise to "insure" your "theory" against) and would require the development of a new description or significant changes and adjustments to the existing theory.
Now is it more obvious?
Yehuda, today was a particularly hot day and the server got tired. Simply, what happened is that the site moved to a new server, and between the transitions there may be disruptions in the database. There were also comments that were lost altogether. But the payoff, I hope at least, will be better server response speed.
My dear father
Put Adi's comment 28 after comment 24
That's how it should flow! I don't understand why the comments got confused
First Yehuda tells about the lecture, then Adi tells about the pepperoni at the Technion and then my father says that Yehuda is allowed to talk about the lecture and at the end Yehuda answers
That's how it should be
If it's difficult for you, then hand out an instruction book with a signpost map on how to move between the comments!
Good night
Sabdarmish Yehuda
Two comments to response 24:
1. Avi - is the comment area for articles on the science website open to spammers?
Will we expect to soon see announcements about the "excellent falafel that opened at the east entrance of the Technion, falafel only 11 NIS"?
2. Not discovering the Higgs boson would be an achievement no less important than discovering it, so I would refrain from counting billions (of others) and inventing infantile puns while rubbing my hands with pleasure. at least for now.
my father
Put response 27 - Adi, after my response 24
good evening
Yehuda Sabdarmish
Not discovering the Higgs boson has no significance. It has not been discovered for decades and it is not considered an achievement. It even seems like a failure to me. It's a preachy thing to say.
I actually think that "bizbozon yikes" is a play on words that is worth billions of dollars.
And by the way, have you heard about the new cute mess. A bigger accelerator by 13 billion dollars (and this is not a joke!). Already in the planning stages. Saren Adin works at 50 percent output and this does not prevent others from coming up with such an idea.
There are many who have to this extent or a hint of doubt about the dark mass, and as my father says, whoever wants to will come, whoever wants to will not come.
good evening
Sabdarmish Yehuda
Not every pepper at the Technion, but a lecture at the observatory on behalf of the association is appropriate. Which lecture is another question - those who want to come, those who don't want not to come.
To remind you, on Thursday the 29th of the seventh at 21:30 I am going to give my last lecture at the observatory in Givatayim about an alternative possibility to explain the dark mass problem.
private opinion Anyone who wants to is welcome to prove me wrong.
And good luck to the workers at Sarn who are working on their shift, and may they find the remaining 25 percent of the known particle because for now the Higgs boson is just a ten billion dollar yuck boson.
Good night
Sabdarmish Yehuda

Sorry for the mistake.
The top quark is the heaviest of the quarks, the top quark is the most common.
point
The top quark is the most common of the quarks.
The theoretical knowledge will lead to practical actions.
Joining Yaron's question, can anyone give examples of practical uses of all this knowledge? What did we get out of this except theoretical knowledge? What will you live in?
Yaron:
If you put a fanjen between the 2 horns, you can make coffee. Black if one sugar.
We can only hope that it will not slip and spoil the fragile LHC anyway.
What came out of this experiment and research is a more comprehensive knowledge of the universe that can practically help us as humans in almost every field. And on the theoretical side this will give some new research topics to physicists.
Can anyone tell me what practical applications we can expect from all these discoveries? Lest it be understood from the question that I am belittling this important research, but nevertheless, what did we get out of it beyond theoretical knowledge?
I would very much appreciate the answers,
Thanks!
point:
LOL!! XDD
the top quark. Doesn't remind you of something?

What Ronen wrote is not true, here I have something better: the scientists create a black hole every 14 billion years.
Come on, praise me for the response.
incidentally,
do you think about me a lot Because I noticed that you mention me in the comments even when I don't write anything.
night bye
Let's really hope that the accelerator at its peak power will produce a benefit that will provide a significant leap forward in the entire field of high energies, there is still about a year until it reaches 14 giga electron volts (from two beams), the processing of the information should also take some time for each experiment, there is no doubt It will be interesting.
Indeed response 5 is a kind of gem, somewhat poetic, a little shorter and it was even a haiku.
A slightly more serious response to the cynical response (of Ronan):
There is another reason why the accelerator will not create a black hole - the cosmic radiation that bombards the Earth every day sometimes reaches the same energy levels as a collision between particles. And yet - we haven't been swallowed by a black hole yet.
deer,
In my opinion message 5 is one of the best comments ever on the science website, short and precise. In 5 lines he said what others such as Hezi and Raf*i*im tried to say in endless messages.
It starts from the point of the clear and indisputable assumption that "there are no intelligent aliens". All that remains is to explain why. But don't worry, he provides a new and original explanation without any doubts. And then the point, he dismisses without hesitation and without batting an eyelid the Beckenstein-Hawking radiation that in some unknown way interferes with the celebrated theory, indeed brilliant.
See what competition does, because the Europeans will extend the lifespan of the American accelerator. In my opinion, another accelerator should be built!!
The previous anonymous is me
Ronen,
It is interesting that a person who declares Beckenstein Hawking radiation as just a beautiful theory that cannot be verified at all, wrote just two lines before an incredibly well-founded statement (without qualifying it at all of course) according to which: "The reason there are no intelligent aliens is that every culture develops to the point where it creates a particle accelerator that will create a hole black".
Indeed, intellectual honesty for example
Hello hello - Beckenstein-Hawking radiation, a little respect here...
The reason there are no intelligent aliens is that every culture evolves to the point where it creates a particle accelerator that creates a black hole.
And to all the physicists who jump in now:
There is no evidence microscopic black instantly evaporates in Hawking radiation. There is no proof that Hawking radiation even exists, it is just a beautiful and logical theory that cannot be tested and measured.
These quarks….immigrants without a visa
They just have no shame
now there is! Hot from the oven... Maximum 4 per customer.
Personal import, it is clear that there are no quarks in Europe
what?? Are there quarks outside the US??
