Higgs Boson Particle Research
Bosons are particles with integer spin quantum numbers, with 0,1,2,3, etc., which obey the Bose-Einstein statistics. For reference, Bose-Einstein statistics are quantum statistics that implicate one of two possible ways in which a collection of separate yet identical particles may occupy a set of available energy states, while at thermodynamic equilibrium. These particles can be fundamental or composite particles. The Higgs boson particle is a fundamental boson which has a spin quantum number of 0, the Large Hadron Collider was able to confirm this. On July 4th, 2012, the Large Hadron Collider detected the Higgs boson. This discovery about the fundamental particle was found by collecting the distinctive decay remnants produced after the boson particle collision within the detector. The detectors then reconstructed the Higgs boson from the byproducts of this collision. This discovery is significant because it is an integral part to physicists’ interpretation of how fundamental particles get their internal mass.
This discovery of the Higgs boson particle delivered a standard model of particle physics which lets educated researchers learn more about supersymmetry of subatomic particles. The standard model designed with the use of the Higgs boson, was theorized before its discovery based off mathematical symmetry. The symmetry mechanism used to try and predict the Higgs boson before its discovery was used to predict earlier discovered particles such as the existence of a 4th quark and W and Z bosons. This reinforced basic physics pertaining to elementary particles and the forces between them. This research leads to all matter and most higher interactions.
