Question

Given the following information about the Higgs boson Develop a scheme (in the form of Feynman diagrams) to produce it and detect it at the LHC (a proton-proton collider) A few givens/assumptions: • Its electrically neutral • Its mass = 125 GeV/c2 • Its coupling goes as the mass of the object it couples to. • It sucks to detect something if there are too many jets in the final state.

Answer 1

The detection of the long-sought Higgs boson, also known by its nickname the "God particle," at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator on the planet. This particle helps give mass to all elementary particles that have mass, such as electrons and protons.

A few assumptions:

• Its electrically neutral

• Its mass = 125 GeV/c2

• Its coupling goes as the mass of the object it couples to.

ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) is the largest, general-purpose particle detector experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator at CERN.

Feynman diagrams show the main ways that the Standard Model Higgs boson can be produced from colliding protons at the LHC.

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) once switched on, the LHC will hurl beams of protons and ions at a velocity approaching the speed of light. The LHC will cause the beams to collide with each other, and then record the resulting events caused by the collision.
