99% chance of 'Goddess' revealed

European physicists declare that the new grains they discovered in July last year were 99 percent Higgs.

On July 3, the European Atomic Energy Research Organization (CERN) announced that its physicists had discovered a particle with physical properties like the Higgs particle. The mass of the new particle is 126 times greater than that of the protons in the atom. CERN's announcement triggered a seismological shock in the scientific community, but it also created a wave of skepticism. Although the CERN team claims that the probability of confusion is only half a million, analysts say physicists will continue to spend more time and effort to prove that the new particle is " the seed of the Lord. "

Since then, the amount of data that physicists collected inside the large particle accelerator (LHC) has increased by 2.5 times. Given that fact, at the international physics conference Rencontres de Moriond in Italy yesterday, CERN physicists announced a 99 percent chance of the new Higgs particle, Livescience reported.

"Preliminary results in 2012 show we have found the Higgs, but we still have to wait a while longer to know what kind of Higgs is," said Joe Incandela, a senior researcher. of CERN, said.

If you want to prove that the new particle is a Higgs particle, physicists will have to collect a "mountain of data" to understand its quantum properties as well as its interaction with other particles. For example, the new particle may only be a Higgs particle without spin and a mirror P.

Even when the new particle is proven to be a Higgs particle, scientists still do not know whether it is a Higgs particle that the Standard Model predicts. Some theories suggest that many Higgs particles exist in the universe, not just one.
