It has been almost half a century, scientists examined the Higgs Boson CERN or better known as the particle "God". The process of this research eventually led to satisfactory results. At seminars and scientific conferences are held at the CERN laboratory, Wednesday (4/7), scientists claim to have discovered a new particle which is consistent with the Higgs boson.
Announcement of the results of CERN's research seminar was attended also by the originator of the concept of the Higgs Boson, Peter Higgs (83). He conceptualized the Higgs boson at the age of 34 years, in 1964. "This discovery is a wonderful thing in my life," said Higgs told reporters at a seminar it.
Stated in the seminar that the Higgs boson particle is expected between 125-126 Gigaelectrovolts memili mass (GeV), 133 times heavier than the proton.
Data analysis showed that the significance of the data at 5 sigma. This means that the probability of error is very small.
Added that by combining two sets of data, the achieved level of confidence 'in the sigma-five' or about one in 3.5 also the opportunities that they see the signal that would arise if there is no Higgs particle. This discovery provoked many. Physicists responded positively. Not to mention Stephen Hawking, physicist and cosmologist in the world.
Hawking said that Peter Higgs deserves a Nobel for the theory put forward. He also admitted that he had lost money because of the present invention.
"I bet with Gordon Kane of the University of Michigan Higgs particle will not be found. Looks like I just lost $ 100," Hawking said as quoted by the Telegraph, Wednesday (04/07/2012).
God particle is a particle that can describe the fundamental particles that make up the universe and its contents and its style of work. These particles are considered very important because it can describe the question of why some particles have mass and others do not.
