Standard Model: Evidence For Direct Decay Of The Higgs Boson Into Fermions

Sunday, June 22, 2014 - 15:50 in Physics & Chemistry

The Higgs boson was detected using its decay into bosons but scientists from the CMS experiment at  the Large Hadron Collider have found evidence for the direct decay of the Higgs boson into fermions. If the Higgs particle can decay into both bosons and fermions, we can exclude certain theories predicting that the Higgs particle does not couple to fermions. As a group of elementary particles, fermions form the matter while bosons act as force carriers between fermions.   read more
