PP4SS: Higgs Boson and the LHC |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
Drive your own particle accelerator, discover the Higgs Boson, and detect cosmic rays from outer space, with the hands-on exhibits provided by the Particle Physics for Scottish Schools team. The image above shows Professor Peter Higgs, standing in the Large Hadron Collider tunnel at CERN. Above and below the photograph are four Feynman diagrams, showing the likeliest ways in which the Higgs Boson will manifest itself at the LHC, as the product of the interaction of other particles at high energies.
