Before the discovery of the Higgs boson particle, it was understood that the nucleus of an atom contained all the mass attributed to neutrons and protons. In the mid-sixties, neutrons and protons were regarded as the fundamental particles. However, Dr. Peter Higgs (a British physicist) and his colleague Dr. Satyendra Nath Bose (an Indian physicist) had a deeper understanding that these two particles are not fundamental and that there exist sub-atomic particles accountable for the mass of matter. They formulated the concept of the "god particle," which was subsequently renamed the Higgs boson in honor of their contributions. It is a class of sub-atomic particles that are around 1/100th the size of a proton and is the fundamental force-carrying particle of the Higgs field, which is responsible for granting other particles their mass. Scientists in CERN laboratories used the world’s most robust particle accelerator to observe it for the first time in 2012. Through this development, our comprehension of the mass of matter has advanced and is substantiated by experimental evidence. Consequently, new pathways for further discoveries are set to unfold in the future. It's a significant accomplishment for a scientist when their theory is experimentally validated during their lifetime. Dr. Peter Higgs passed away on 9th April 24. R.I.P.

Observation of the Two-Photon Decay in Fully Stripped (Electron-Free) Germanium-72 Nuclei in the Experimental Storage Ring at GSI. https://lnkd.in/dgsairVF
For the first time, scientists were able to observe two-photon decay in a “naked” atomic nucleus: The measured lifetime was surprisingly short! “The obtained short lifetime was not expected and we are very excited about the theoretical explanation. However, further experiments will be necessary to reconcile theory and experiment for this rare phenomenon,” says Professor Klaus Blaum, Director of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg, summarizing the experiments at the GSI/FAIR storage ring together with IRFU Saclay CEA. https://lnkd.in/d_k9yenK © G.

Coming Soon: A Journey Through the Quantum Realm! Delves into the intriguing world of atomic and subatomic particles, challenging the classical physics that once reigned supreme. This journey begins in the late 19th century with the paradoxes that classical theories couldn't explain, like blackbody radiation, leading to Max Planck's groundbreaking proposal of energy quanta in 1900. Albert Einstein’s 1905 revelation that light consists of particles called photons, each carrying quantized energy, further propelled the field forward, establishing the wave-particle duality fundamental to quantum theory. #ComingSoon #AuthorsClick #QuantumJourney #PhysicsRevolution #QuantumTheory #MaxPlanck #AlbertEinstein

New Physics for Baryogenesis and Where to Find It Seyda Ipek, Carleton University Friday, March 8, 2024 at 2:30pm | AQ 3149 and online (https://lnkd.in/gAPKCbXG) Everything around us, in fact pretty much everything in the universe is made up of matter. There is virtually no antimatter in the universe. I will discuss why this matter–antimatter asymmetry cannot be explained with the Standard Model. New physics models that try to address this existential problem have some common features. I will give an overview of these beyond-the-SM predictions and discuss how we can search for them in various ways, e.g. at the LHC, with gravitational wave detectors and with ultracold neutrons. #sfu_physics #cosmology https://lnkd.in/gqxwpdFS
