Peter Higgs is credited with first proposing the existence of the Higgs Field, an idea that resulted in a unification of the electro-magnetic force with the weak interaction. Peter did not name the field after himself, that came later.

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.


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.


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.


Who discovered higgs boson particle?

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 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.

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.

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.
