Professor Peter Higgs

Professor Peter Higgs wiping away tears. After many years of finding the concept of the Higgs boson particle, the particle that has a name derived from his name, the concept was finally proven."I never thought this moment would happen in my life. I also asked my family to spend the champagne from the refrigerator (to celebrate)," Higgs said, as quoted from the pages of the Daily Mail.Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle mass to fill or complete the form to matter. These particles are considered very important, because it is considered to complement and even enhance the theory of the universe who introduced Albert Einstein.Higgs boson is considered as an intermediary that enables the formation of stars, planets, and life. The trick, is to give mass to a number of elementary particles. That's why these particles are often called "God particle".Is a group of scientists from CERN scientific institutions which carry out experiments to search for the Higgs boson particle. By leveraging the huge particle-breaking laboratory Larga Hadron Collider (LHC), scientists are constantly looking for the smallest particles of the carrier mass.The result, the team conducted experiments CMS and ATLAS find new particles in the mass (mass region) of about 125-126 GeV (Gigaelectronic Volts, or unit of energy equivalent to billions of electron volts)."We made observations in our data clearly indicate that the new particles at the level of 5 sigma, in the mass region around 126 GeV. Outstanding performance of the LHC and ATLAS as well as a number of efforts have brought us to this exciting stage," said a spokesman ATLAS, Fabiola Gianotti, a press conference at the CERN site.CERN said it had not yet found the Higgs boson, but only found a particle called the Higgs boson-like. However, the invention is considered to be penyibak curtain "God particle". Therefore, the sign at 5 sigma around 125-126 GeV as a significant result."This is definitely a new particle. We know these possibilities are bosons, and this is the boson toughest ever encountered," said CMS spokesman, Joe Incandela, in a press release on the CERN site. "The implication is clearly significant and precisely for this reason we must be very careful in our studies and to do cross check," he said.These findings were considered highly valuable, even considered equivalent to the first landing of man on the moon, or when Christopher Columbus discovered America. British Prime Minister David Cameron also congratulated and hope these findings can continue to inspire other scientific discoveries.Having considered the theory of "God particle" is proven, the praise continues to flow to Peter Higgs. Some scientists propose that Peter Higgs as a figure worthy of the Nobel Prize in Physics.One of the praise came from the renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. "This is an important finding and should make Peter Higgs won the Nobel Prize," said Hawking, who lost a bet of U.S. $ 100 because it had sanctioned the existence of the Higgs boson particle.Professor of Physics from the University of Surrey in England, Jim Al-Khalili, also praised Peter Higgs. "After all the hype and speculation, after decades of designing experiments to the most ambitious in the world, after many do check the data carefully, today is the reward," said Al Khalili.
