The "Higgs" of Higgs boson is well known to refer to Peter Higgs, the British researcher who in 1964 laid much of the conceptual groundwork for the presence of the elusive particle.

What is largely unknown, at least to non-specialists, is that the term "boson" owes its name to the pioneering work of the late Indian physicist, Satyendra Nath Bose.

In 1924, he sent a paper to Albert Einstein describing a statistical model that eventually led to the discovery of what became known as the Bose-Einstein condensate phenomenon.

The paper laid the basis for describing the two fundamental classes of sub-atomic particles -- bosons, named after Bose, and fermions, after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.

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.


What is the Higgs boson accelerator?

It isn't. The Large Hadron Collider is a proton-accelerator & collider designed to investigate the most fundamental sub-atomic particles and forces, and to try to prove or disprove the existence & properties of the hypothesised Higgs Boson, though to be responsible for mass.


What is boson and fermion?

Bosons and Fermions are parts of Quaternion Electronic Particles. The Boson is the Quaternion Scalar part and the Fermion is the Quaternion Vector part. Quaternions are four dimensional "particles" a Boson and a three dimensional FermionThe Quaternion Unit can be described by Q= Cos(Spin) + v Sin(Spin) where v is the unit vector. The Quaternion consists of a scalar part the Boson = Cos(Spin) and a vector part the Fermion = v Sin(Spin).When the angle Spin = n pi/2 if n is a multiple of 1 then the Quaternion Unit is a positive Fermion;If n is a multiple of 2 then the Quaternion is a negative Boson;if n is a multiple of 3 then the Quaternion is a negative Fermionif n is a multiple of 4, then the Quaternion is a Positive Boson.In general Bosons are even spin angles of pi/2 and Fermions are odd spin angles of pi/2.If the spin angel is not a multiple of pi/2 then the Quaternion is the sum of a Boson and a Fermion.This looks like Complex Numbers. because it is. Complex Numbers are a Quaternion 2 dimensional subgroup with Boson and a single vector Fermions.


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.


When was god's particle found?

The Higgs Boson was discovered in July of 2012. The media calls it "The God Particle", but this is a misnomer; there is nothing godlike about this particle. It's the particle counterpart to the field that gives particles their mass.

What are higgs boson particles?

The Higgs boson is a subatomic particle that is believed to give mass to other particles according to the Higgs mechanism in particle physics. It was first theorized in the 1960s and was experimentally confirmed in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider. The discovery of the Higgs boson was a major breakthrough in understanding the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.


What is concept of higgs boson?

What is the significance of the scalar boson in particle physics?

The scalar boson, also known as the Higgs boson, is significant in particle physics because it helps explain how particles acquire mass. Its discovery in 2012 confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, which is responsible for giving particles their mass. This discovery was a major milestone in understanding the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.
