World's largest supercooled magnet gets going
News In particular, the experimenters hope to detect the Higgs Boson within three years, a predicted subatomic particle that is key to the current mainstream theories of matter. The search for the Higgs Boson will need an immense amount of data processing.

Baguette 'dropped by bird' causes LHC disruption
News When fully operational, the machine will smash beams of protons into each other in an effort to better understand the fundamental nature of matter, and to search for an elusive scalar elementary particle called the Higgs boson.

Date set for restart of Large Hadron Collider
News The LHC, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, was built by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) to conduct experiments to test fundamental physics theories and to search for important new science such as the Higgs Boson.

LHC disaster.
Talkback Zealous, jealous, Nobel Prize hungry Physicists are racing each other and stopping at nothing to try to find the supposed 'Higgs Boson'(aka God) Particle, among others, and are risking nothing less than the annihilation of the Earth and all Life...

Date set for Large Hadron Collider launch
News The particle accelerator was designed primarily as an attempt to produce the 'Higgs boson' — a hypothetical particle whose observation would help confirm some of the predictions in the Standard Model of physics.

Cern's Large Hadron Collider powers up
News One specific particle that the scientists want to detect is the 'Higgs boson'. Shortly before 8.30am on Wednesday, scientists at Cern turned on the Large Hadron Collider for the first time. Within one hour, a particle beam had been successfully...

Large Hadron Collider aces pre-launch testing
News Cern's scientists hope that the LHC project will reveal the elusive 'Higgs boson', a hypothetical particle whose assumed existence underpins much of current physics theory. Pre-initiation testing of the Large Hadron Collider has now been completed...

CERN steps up to massive storage challenge
News With the collisions beginning in earnest in the LHC by late summer 2007, the physicists hope to find the Higgs boson, a hypothetical elementary particle. Researchers at CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory, face a truly immense...

Hadron Collider shut down until early spring
News Built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (or Cern), it promises to push forward theories of particle physics, such as the Higgs Boson, and the fundamental building blocks of all things.

More boson goes on - computing with excitons...
Blog A long way away from the LHC, work proceeds on different sorts of bosons to the Higgs type. Bosons are particles - or can be considered as particles, anyway - and some of them are made up of other particles.
