Detecting Higgs Boson Resonance at CERN and Brookhaven Labs

In summary, Cern's Accelerator and Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider labs have the ability to produce and detect the Higgs Boson resonance. The nuclear reaction involved is Pu244(39 Tev) + Au197 -> CMS(39 Tev) -> H115.6 GeV(1 Tev) + E, with an energy available for creating new matter at 3.5 Tev. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven has a center-of-mass energy of 40 Tev available for production. Evidence for the transition into a QGP phase has been found in CERN data, specifically through enhanced production of strange mesons, decrease in heavy psi mesons, and increase in energetic

Cern's Accelerator and Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider labs are now capable of generating and detecting the Higgs Boson resonance.

The nuclear reaction is as follows:
Pu244(39 Tev) + Au197 -> CMS(39 Tev) -> H115.6 GeV(1 Tev) + E

Ecms = (160 GeV/nucleon)* 244 nucleons = 39 Tev

Higgs Decays:
H115.6 Gev(1 Tev) -> Z93 Gev + Z93 Gev

H115.6 Gev(1 Tev) -> W+82 Gev + W-82 Gev

The energy available for producing new matter, is about 3.5 Tev.

A 40 Tev cms (center-of-mass) energy is available at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider undergoing final preparations at Brookhaven.

Evidence for the transition from a hadron phase (baryons and mesons) into a QGP phase was expected to consist of:

(1) an enhanced production of strange mesons

(2) a decrease in the production of heavy psi mesons (each consisting of a charm and anti-charm quarks)

(3) an increase in the creation of energetic photons and lepton-anti-lepton pairs.

(indirect) evidence (at least of types 1 and 2) has now turned up in the CERN data.

Interesting... if true (which I seriously doubt).

1) The tevatron is not at CERN but at Fermilab.
2) The large CERN accelerator is down pending installment of LHC.
3) No mention of H is made on the BNL site.
4) No mention of H is made on physicsweb.

Can you provide a clear link to the results? preprint / experimental results-page will do...

It is clear he refers to the preliminary Aleph results, three years old by now. They are in the first quoted URL.
 

What is the Higgs Boson Resonance and why is it important?

The Higgs Boson Resonance is a subatomic particle that is believed to give mass to all other particles in the universe. Its discovery confirms the existence of the Higgs field, which is a fundamental part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Its importance lies in its role in understanding the origin of mass and in furthering our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe.

How was the Higgs Boson Resonance discovered at CERN and Brookhaven Labs?

The Higgs Boson Resonance was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. Scientists used the LHC to accelerate protons to near the speed of light and collide them, creating high-energy conditions similar to those in the early universe. The results of these collisions were analyzed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments, which detected the Higgs Boson Resonance. It was also observed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York in 2010.

What techniques and technologies are used to detect the Higgs Boson Resonance?

The main technique used to detect the Higgs Boson Resonance is to accelerate particles to high energies and collide them, producing a spray of particles. Scientists then use detectors, such as the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the LHC, to track and measure the properties of these particles. Advanced technology, such as superconducting magnets and particle accelerators, are used to create the high-energy conditions necessary for the detection of the Higgs Boson Resonance.

What are the implications of detecting the Higgs Boson Resonance?

The discovery of the Higgs Boson Resonance has confirmed the Standard Model of Particle Physics and has opened up new avenues for research and understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe. It has also provided evidence for the existence of the Higgs field, which is crucial in our understanding of the origin of mass. This discovery has also led to the development of new technologies and advancements in particle physics research.

What are the current and future research goals related to the Higgs Boson Resonance at CERN and Brookhaven Labs?

Current research at CERN and Brookhaven Labs continues to focus on studying the properties of the Higgs Boson Resonance and its interactions with other particles. Scientists are also looking for any deviations from the Standard Model, which could provide clues to new physics beyond our current understanding. Future goals include improving the precision of measurements of the Higgs Boson Resonance and searching for new particles and phenomena that may be associated with it.
