A particle consistent with the Higgs boson observed with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.

چکیده

Nearly 50 years ago, theoretical physicists proposed that a field permeates the universe and gives energy to the vacuum. This field was required to explain why some, but not all, fundamental particles have mass. Numerous precision measurements during recent decades have provided indirect support for the existence of this field, but one crucial prediction of this theory has remained unconfirmed despite 30 years of experimental searches: the existence of a massive particle, the standard model Higgs boson. The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN has now observed the production of a new particle with a mass of 126 giga-electron volts and decay signatures consistent with those expected for the Higgs particle. This result is strong support for the standard model of particle physics, including the presence of this vacuum field. The existence and properties of the newly discovered particle may also have consequences beyond the standard model itself.

Measurements of the Properties of the Higgs Boson Using the Atlas Detector

In July 2012, the ATLAS [1] and CMS Collaborations announced the discovery of a new particle [2, 3] at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in the context of the search for the Higgs boson of the Standard Model of Particle Physics (SM). Since then, with an increased dataset, improved detector understanding and refined analysis strategies, a wide range of properties of this new particle has b...

Search for the Higgs boson in the diphoton decay channel with the ATLAS detector

These proceedings report on a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the diphoton decay channel in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of √ s = 7TeV and √ s = 8TeV using integrated luminosities of 4.8fb−1 and 5.9fb−1, respectively, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search is performed for Higgs boson masses between 110 and 150GeV. The expec...

Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwig-Universität Freiburg, Hermann-Herder-Str. 3, D-79104 Freiburg Abstract.The Standard Model of elementary particles is remarkably succesful in describing experimental data. The Higgs mechanism as the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking and mass generation, however, has not yet been confirmed experimentally. The search for the Higgs boson is thus one of t...
