LHC confirms weve definitely discovered the Higgs boson, and (sadly) it behaves exactly as the Standard Model predicts

2014-06-23 14:16:34| Extremetech

Some two years after a Higgs boson was discovered at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, a new study confirms that the newly discovered particle is definitely the Higgs boson, and it behaves exactly as the Standard Model of particle physics predicts. On the one hand, this is obviously a huge win for science -- but on the other, there will be many scientists who are disappointed that, yet again, the Standard Model has held up to another round of immense scrutiny. If you were hoping for the Higgs boson to be the weird particle that led us towards the weird and wonderful nether regions of science beyond the Standard Model -- supersymmetry, dark matter, dark energy -- then sadly this is not the particle you were looking for.
