In the 1960s, British physicist Peter Higgs developed a theory according to which there is a certain particle, named in his honor, Higgs boson, which is crucial in the formation of masses of all existing matter. This theory has become one of the cornerstones of modern science that studies the origin of the universe. Scientists have long been trying to identify the Higgs boson, creating conditions similar to the Big Bang, pushing each other protons and antiprotons in the accelerator of charged particles (hadron collider).
Large Hadron Collider was built in Europe, namely to capture Higgs boson, as a practical proof of its existence would better understand the mechanism of the universe, a theory to prove the existence of parallel worlds and the world of science to another food for thought, and along with some reason to rewrite the textbooks on physics. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that the particle is highly unstable and decays into lighter. Accordingly, the only way to detect it - to collect and analyze large amounts of information about the collisions of elementary particles and to identify specific stereotype of cleavage.
American experts from Fermilab could result in a very convincing proof of the existence of this particle. This statement was made on the base of studies conducted in the collider Tevatron, which is the second largest after the Large Hadron Collider, and the largest in the United States. Sam collider was shut down last fall, but the data is about 500 trillion collision in 10 years, were finally analyzed in just a few days ago. Processing of the results proved the existence of Higgs boson with an accuracy of 99.8%.
Meanwhile, in the scientific world accepted that the reliability of these observations was 99.99995%. In the near future, researchers plan to repeat the experiment , in order to dispel any remaining doubts. Finally some specialists believe that the selection of Higgs boson can cause a chain of reaction that leads to the formation of a black hole, with all the obvious consequences.
