The fact that the "image" of the particle of God appears at approximately the same mass and in two separate experiments for the search of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is however very encouraging.
In fact, before the official announcement of the analysis of experimental data and aggregate while the wanton speculation, some experts say that a coincidence of results in experiments Atlas and CMS, even though it was unclear, it would be enough to "put scientists tempted to open champagne. "
This of course only among themselves behind closed doors, because officially this time no one dares to talk about a final breakthrough. The current picture also can always be overturned by further analysis of data that will continue next year.
According to the official announcement of both the Atlas and the CMS «saw" a surplus of interactions about the same mass. Specifically, the first identified surplus at 126 gigailektrovolt (GeV) and the second at 124 gigailektrovolt. It is the first time such a coincidence is observed in both experiments and the fact is important.
Nothing, however, does not exclude the possibility that this picture is misleading, that's why managers appear reluctant. "The surplus may be due to some variation, but may be something more interesting. We can not exclude anything at this stage, "said Fampiola Tzanoti, representative experiment Atlas.
The particle of God!
The Higgs boson, also known as ghost particle or particle of God is according to the theory extremely short-lived and is rapidly converted to other transitions, stable particles. The identification is not possible with current instruments, which is why the researchers are looking through the interactions caused by his presence.
The reluctance of researchers in a statement today due to the fact that the surplus interactions were observed only in some of the billions of people who were fighting during the two experiments.
Margin of statistical error
Also the level of statistical certainties no more than two sigma. Typically, in order to guarantee a discovery should have at least five sigma confidence level, which means that the chance due to statistical error is less than one in a million.
Essentially that the scientific community is still waiting the results of subsequent tests, which will be released in 2012. Until then all options remain open and it is possible that optimism be reversed.
Identifying the "God particle" as they call it, is considered particularly important, as is the basis of the Standard Model of particle physics and present our understanding of the universe.
