Published 08:40 p.m., Wednesday, July 4, 2012 Early Wednesday morning, physicists announced the discovery of a large new particle in the reams of data collected at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland ... Higgs boson announcement an historic day for science Evidence for the existence of a new sub-atomic particle resembling the long-sought-after Higgs boson was announced last night in a pair of seminars given at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN. Higgs Boson Particle Discovered "Today's announcement that the Higgs boson has been discovered at CERN represents the most important and profound discovery in particle physics in almost 30 years. The Higgs represents the key missing piece of the jig-saw puzzle that is the famous Standard Model of nuclear and particle physics. It has been anticipated for more than four decades and were it not there theorists all over the world ... Peter Higgs lives to see his boson GENEVA (Reuters) - Peter Higgs was no good in the lab, but he never doubted that one day his theory of a powerful subatomic particle that bears his name would be proven right in practice. His surprise was that he lived to see that day. Speaking at Geneva's CERN research centre on Wednesday after its experimental physicists announced the discovery of a new particle, a boson much as Higgs imagine ... CERN physicists say they have discovered 'Higgs-like' boson In a culmination of 50 years of theoretical speculation and three weeks of intense media frenzy, two teams of researchers at the European Organization for Nuclear Research said they had independently discovered evidence for a "Higgs-like" boson, the long-sought elementary particle that gives mass to the universe. With Higgs boson research, Large Hadron Collider is a big hit A glitch once called into question the value of the $10-billion Large Hadron Collider, but it has run dependably for Higgs boson researchers. In 2008, when faulty wiring closed down the $10-billion Large Hadron Collider for more than a year, many wondered whether physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research had a white elephant on their hands. "It's a boson:" Higgs quest bears new particle GENEVA (Reuters) - Scientists at Europe's CERN research center have found a new subatomic particle, a basic building block of the universe, which appears to be the boson imagined and named half a century ago by theoretical physicist Peter Higgs. "We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature," CERN director general Rolf Heuer told a gathering of scientists and the world's media near ... Scientists may have found Higgs boson. What next? Two teams of researchers say they have found a new, fundamental subatomic particle with a handful of traits that are consistent with those predicted for a long-sought Higgs boson -- a particle linked to the mechanism that gives mass to other fundamental particles. Why Higgs boson is a big deal So what's the Higgs boson, and why are people spending billions of dollars to find that god-danged subatomic particle? I've rounded up a variety of resources aimed at showing you why the hunt for the Higgs is a big deal. Higgs Boson 'Discovered', Existence Of Mass In Universe Explained By 'God Particle' Scientists at CERN in Switzerland have confirmed the existence of the elusive Higgs boson—or something very much like it. "The ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN today presented their latest results in the search for the long-sought Higgs boson. Both experiments see strong indications for the presence of a new particle, which could be the Higgs boson, in the mass region around 126 ...
