Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass.
predicted the Higgs boson in a series of papers between 1964 and 1966, as an inevitable consequence of the mechanism responsible for giving elementary particles mass. This theory suggests particle masses are a consequence of elementary particles interacting with a field, dubbed the Higgs field. And according to the same model, such a field should also give rise to a Higgs particle — meaning if the Higgs boson wasn't there, this would ultimately falsify the entire theory.
."We apologize to experimentalists for having no idea what is the mass of the Higgs boson … and for not being sure of its couplings to other particles … For these reasons, we do not want to encourage big experimental searches for the Higgs boson." -positron collider ever built. It ran for 11 years, but its maximum energy turned out to be just 5% too low to produce the Higgs boson., had started taking data at Fermilab, close to Chicago. The Tevatron collided protons and antiprotons with an energy five times higher than what was achieved in Geneva — surely, enough to make the Higgs. But proton-antiproton collisions produce a lot of debris, making it much harder to extract the signal from the data.
