Higgs decay is a very rare phenomenon. It was recently discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). TVP Nauka shows that this phenomenon can provide new information about elementary particles.

Researchers from the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) have for the first time been able to observe a very rare phenomenon – the decay of the Higgs boson. It decayed into a Z boson, an electroless particle that mediates the weak interaction, and a photon. According to the researchers, the experiment may provide new insights into the existence of elementary particles that go beyond the predictions of the Standard Model, he reports. Science of TVP.
– This study is a robust test of the Standard Design – accepted Prof. Pamela Ferrari from CERN.
The Higgs boson does not decay directly into photons and Z bosons, but the process continues through a “loop” of “normal particles” that cannot be observed directly. The so-called virtual particles may include so far undiscovered substances that interact with the Higgs boson, researchers think.
The long-sought “God Particle” was discovered on July 4, 2012.as a result of experiments carried out at the Large Hadron Collider. The discovery marked the beginning of a new stage in the history of elementary particle physics, but it also confirmed the predictions of the Standard Model – the most important theory of modern physics that describes the relationship between elementary particles. Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, scientists have been constantly experimenting to uncover the next secrets of the particle.
“Thanks to the careful combination of the results of the ATLAS and CMS detectors, we have taken a step towards solving another riddle of the Higgs boson” emphasized Prof. Ferrari.
