Does higgs boson occupy any space?

The Higgs boson, is well, a boson. All bosons follow Bose-Einstein statistics and are therefore CAN occupy the same quantum state (as opposed to fermions, i.e. matter, which cannot.) So basically, no. The Higgs boson does not occupy any space.


Where is the Higgs boson located?

Better question is when


How do you go from a proton to the higgs boson?

since the proton-proton collision produce higgs bosons where was the higgs in the first place?


Is the Higgs boson on the periodic table?

No. The periodic table contains the elements, which are made of atoms. The Higgs boson is a much smaller particle than an atom. Yes, but it was a theoretical element until recently when its presence was proved. The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle that apparently weighs 130 times as much as an atom of hydrogen, the lightest gas.


Is God Particle the same as Dark Matter?

The Higgs Boson (nicknamed the "God Particle", in one of history's WORST choices for a popular name) is a particle predicted by the existence of the Higgs Field, a hypothesis created to explain why some particles have mass and some don't. If it turned out that the Higgs Boson did NOT exist, then a lot of science over the last forty years would have to be thrown out. However, that boson was found, fairly close to the mass predicted -- meaning the Higgs Field can continue to be used, and the Standard Model remains the basic idea of particle physics. However, the Higgs Field, and its accompanying boson, have nothing to do with dark matter. That latter stuff (whatever it happens to turn out to be) interact with baryonic matter (ie, the stuff we understand) through gravity, and not much else. Dark matter is out there, as we can clearly see its effects -- we just don't know what it IS. But it can't be the Higgs Field, or its boson, as the field has no mass and the boson is so unstable as to disappear in less than a billionth of a trillionth of a second. Dark matter, in contrast, has been unchanged over billions of years.

Can god fit in scientific story of higgs boson?

The Higgs Boson is called the "God" particle because it would help explain on of physics biggest mysteries: how gravity works. Can both God and the Higgs Boson exist? Yes, if God exists, then he could have created the Higgs Boson, like he created other particles.


When was Higgs boson created?

Higgs boson was created in 2011.


What type of physics is the higgs boson involved with?

Particle physics. Specifically, the Standard Model of Particle Physics was centered around the Higgs Boson- had the boson not been found to exist, then modern physics as we know it would be on very shaky ground.


What gives Higgs boson its mass?

The "Higgs Field".


Who discovered higgs boson?

How the higgs boson got its name?

It is a boson, a type of particle, that is a part of the Higgs mechanism, a theory of how particles can have mass if they are just energy


What is quark and higgs boson?

Quarks are point-like particles found mainly in baryons, mesons etc. The Higgs boson is a primary particle produced when the higgs field is excited
