Higgs Particle Discovery Paves Way to New World of Physics
Maxim Perelstein, a Physics Professor at the Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics at Cornell University, has commented on the latest announcement related to the detection of Higgs particle and its significance in elementary physics.
Perelstein stated that the Higgs particle discovery opens the next chapter of physics after concluding the first chapter. Hypothetical disputes strongly recommend that the existence of the Higgs particle is not possible without drastically changing the laws of physics in the field of extremely energetic particle collisions. This new physics may deal with new unusual particles like the ‘super particles’ envisaged by some models or some stranger phenomena, like microscopic new dimensions of space. All these concepts will be investigated by the experiments being conducted at the Large Hadron Collider.
Jim Alexander, another Physics Professor at the Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics at Cornell University, has also commented on the latest announcement of the detection of the Higgs particle and its implications for experimental particle physics.
Alexander informed that identifying a ‘bump’ that shows the existence of a new particle is the first step. Many years of research is required to explore the features of the new particle to either confirm that it is the Higgs particle of the Standard Model, or to prove its true identity. Nevertheless, in either case, the Higgs particle is a giant leap into a new world.
