I've heard a lot about LHC and how one of it's goles is to make a higgs boson but i don't know what a boson even is so could someone give me an explanation about what a boson it and why pphysicst are so intersted in them?

thharrimw said:so do they make up protons, netrons,and electrons?

atyy said:Don't you think it might be more interesting if they don't find it?:tongue2:
thharrimw said:so bosons are particles that control the interactions of electrons? what are quarks and gluons?
thharrimw said:what's the difference between bosons and gage bosons?
I disagree with that. There were other BIG devices which have not found what they were meant to find, at they still are in fancy. See the quark-gluon story for instance :uhh:malawi_glenn said:well hehe, it would be hard to get new $$$ to make a new experiment ;-)

To be fait I should add, of course, that not finding the Higgs boson would certainly not be a failure at all ! On the contrary.humanino said:I disagree with that.

Sakha said:I just wonder, if they find the Higgs Boson, what would be the next missing particle. It's just a non ending mystery. If they find about what happened billionth of a second after the Big Bang, they will ask what happened a little bit earlier of that moment.
Bosons are a type of fundamental particle that carry energy and forces between other particles. They are important in particle physics because they help explain the fundamental interactions between particles and are crucial in understanding the properties of matter.
Bosons are discovered through particle accelerators, which use powerful magnetic fields to accelerate particles to high speeds and then collide them. The resulting particles and energy can then be detected and analyzed to identify the presence of bosons.
The Higgs boson is a crucial piece of the Standard Model of particle physics, which explains the fundamental particles and their interactions. Its discovery in 2012 confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, which is responsible for giving particles their mass. This discovery helped complete our understanding of the fundamental forces and particles in the universe.
Yes, there are different types of bosons, including the photon, W and Z bosons, and the gluon. Each type of boson is associated with a different fundamental force and plays a unique role in particle interactions.
The study of bosons may seem abstract, but it has practical applications in our daily lives. Particle accelerators, which are used to study bosons, have also been used in medical imaging and cancer treatment. Additionally, the discovery of new bosons can lead to advancements in technology and energy production.
