Finding The Higgs (Or Not...)

Théo Le Bret | Posted 02.15.2012

Théo Le Bret

"(Finding the) Higg's boson": the elusive particle and the search for it has become so popular among scientists that it is now a recurring theme in scientific in-jokes but, more seriously, the Higg's boson is (if you haven't yet been told a hundred times), the "missing piece" of the Standard Model of Particles, the not-yet-observed particle responsible for the mass of matter, and so it is little wonder that its discovery would cause quite a stir...
