No, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has not detected the theorized Higgs boson. The LHC was shut down because of some technical difficulties, and it's finally up and running. We're still waiting for results. Fermilab was working on finding the Higgs, but lacks the power to deliver the kinds of acceleration required to set up conditions under which this predicted particle might appear.

What is looking for higgs Boson?

The two most prominent particle colliders that are looking for the Higgs boson are the Tevatron at FermiLab (although that one is going to close soon) and the LHC at CERN.


Has the Higgs boson been found yet?

We are not sure if the theorized Higgs boson is real or not. If it is, it would be provide some support to ideas about what mass (and, therefore, gravity, which is associated mass) really is. We're still looking for experimental support that the Higgs boson is real, and now that the Large Hadron Collider is up and running, all (interested) eyes are on CERN and awaiting results.


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 Found at LHC?

The Higgs boson first arose after a process called electroweak-symmetry breaking, which is a bit technical to explain in detail. Basically, the current theories for particle physics state that at a certain energy level (higher than we can reach at the moment) the electromagnetic force merges with the weak nuclear force. Below this energy level (or temperature) the two forces are distinct. You can view this as a phase transition, and the Higgs boson is a by product of it. This phase transition should have taken place mere seconds after the big bang, so if they exist (they haven't been experimentally verified), they have been present since almost the very start of the Universe.


What could be in the higs Boson?

The Higgs Boson, if it exists, should be a massive point particle, so there should be nothing "in" it.

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
