The Higgs field solved a huge question in theoretical particle physics, and the Higgs boson was a tantalising target that ...

It’s a staple of popular fiction, but two mathematicians in Australia now say that an age-old maxim is nothing more than ...

The physicist Peter Higgs quietly revolutionised quantum field theory, then lived long enough to see the discovery of the Higgs boson he theorised. Despite receiving a Nobel prize, he remained in ...

Providing a comprehensive introduction to quantum field theory, this textbook covers the development of particle physics from its foundations to the discovery of the Higgs boson. Its combination of ...

Unlike its parent, axial Higgs mode has a magnetic moment, and that requires a more complex form of the theory to explain its properties, said Boston College Professor of Physics Kenneth Burch, a lead ...

Since the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, researchers have been studying Higgs bosons and searching for signs of physics ...

Since the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, there has been ongoing research there into Higgs bosons and a search for traces of physics beyond the existing model of elementary particles. Scientists ...

It was considered the machine that could prove - or disprove - Prof Higgs's theory. The boson had been nicknamed the 'God particle' by the media, after a book by Nobel laureate Leon Lederman.

Our most powerful telescopes have revealed that the cosmos is surprisingly simple on the largest visible scales. Likewise, ...
