The Higgs boson has not yet been discovered. It has been predicted by numerous physicists (the best known is probably Peter Higgs, since the particle was named after him, but more people worked on it) and many think that it is required to explain certain features of the Standard Model, which is the model which describes particle interactions at a small scale.

Recently FermiLab has published results which show they may have found the Higgs boson in their collider experiments, but the uncertainties are still too great to be able to claim with confidence that the particle has been found.

If it exists, it will be found by the LHC-experiment at CERN.

What will happen if the Higgs boson is discovered?

It will prove the existence of the Higgs Boson. So far it is only theory. This is a groundbreaking result as particle physics has been without new data for over a decade to decide what theories are correct.


What is the significance of the Higgs Strahlung process in particle physics?

The Higgs Strahlung process is significant in particle physics because it involves the production of a Higgs boson in association with a Z boson. This process helps scientists study the properties of the Higgs boson, which is crucial for understanding the mechanism of mass generation in the universe.

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.
