Higgs Boson - The God Particle

Sunday, March 16, 2014 Posted by Arun Vishwakarma , , No comments

The Higgs boson is named after Peter Higgs who theorized it in 1964. It is also known as God Particle since it is responsible for mass in all the Fundamental Particles. It is an Elementary particle.

Actually the Higgs particle is a boson with no spin, electric charge, or color charge. It is also very unstable, decaying into other particles almost immediately. It couples with the Fermions and give them mass.

It was first theorized by the duo of Bose and Einstein and obeys Bose-Einstein Statistics. According to this Higgs Bosons unlike Fermions can share the same quantum state. It quickly dissociates into W and Z Bosons leaving no fingerprints. It can only be detected by the presence of the Higgs Field and has been tentatively confirmed by the scientists of the CERN on 14 March 2013.

Hello! There

This site belongs to Arun Vishwakarma and is the result of his own observations and analysis. This site doesn't uses any copyright material and if so then the acknowledgements were given as and when necessary. All the names and the core theories that are mentioned in any of the post is taken from different sources viz. Wikipedia, Google, etc. and except that the rest of the hypothesis and proposed theories are my own. All the concepts that are given in the posts are the brainchild of Arun and it is in no way criticize or prove other theories wrong rather it tries to define them using new concepts and provides new ideas to rethink them.
