Electromagnetic interactions govern everyday life: You see an object when particles of light deposit energy on the retinas in your eyes. Our sense of touch results from the exchange of the same particles, the photons, between the atoms in our skin and the objects we touch.
In the Standard Model of particle physics, at least one Higgs boson
The standard model of particle physics encapsulates our current know
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics that describes the strong interaction.
As for any other instrument, the CMS experiment needs a “quiet” environment to take data, with the lowest level of background noise. In the CMS detector, background noise is mainly due to energetic particles generated at high eta (i.e.
Studying the production of two Higgs bosons is the most obvious way to understand the field responsible for the Higgs boson. A new result by the CMS collaboration gets closer than ever to measuring this field and its physics prediction.
