CERN Chief sees the certainty of the God particle until the summer

DAVOS, Switzerland--the world knows with certainty by the middle of this year, whether or not the subatomic particles discovered last summer, long sought for the Higgs boson, physicists, the world's largest atom smasher said Saturday the head.

Rolf Heuer, CERN, the European Organization for nuclear research, or is a Director, said he was sure that "the year we would be there." Then he said the reams of information about the $ 10 billion Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border near Geneva, should have been assessed.

The timing of the Scottish physicist Peter Higgs could also help win the Noble Prize, Heuer said in an interview with the Associated Press, the Swiss Davos resort.

CERN'S atom smasher helped scientists announce the discovery last July, new subatomic particles that Heuer calls "very like" the Higgs boson, which promises into a new realm of the universe.

The machine, which is to create high-energy collisions of protons to study dark matter, materials and the creation of the universe, is put to rest at the beginning of the year. Information about takes more time to analyze.

"It is assumed that the Higgs boson is a special snowflake, so you need to identify a big snowstorm a snowflake, snowfields, in front of the background of the" Heuer said by way of analogy. "Very difficult, you will need an enormous amount of snowfall in order to identify the snowflakes and therefore it will take some time."

The standard model of particle physics describes only five percent of the universe, which many speculate, as the big bang, the explosion occurred, he said.

To explain how subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons and neutrons, were themselves formed the Higgs and other 1960s envisioned in the energy sector, in which the particles interact with the core particle the Higgs boson.

The idea was to attract other particles, the Higgs Harvey made him the autopsy and the more they attract, the bigger their mass. But the big question is: is the new hiukkasesta or the same as the Higgs boson, Higgs boson, which had predicted?

The phrase "the God particle," Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon M. Lederman was invented, is used for the uninitiated, physicists, more observations as an explanation for how the atoms of the universe works like how it all began.

"Now, if compared with the properties of the Higgs boson, it means we will open a new window, I hope the dark universe of 95% of the unknown part of the universe," said Heuer.

"If you find any deviation," he added, "it means, if you find a fantastic window into the universe of the dark, so we want to make a new leap from there--but appears dark (a)--the Higgs boson."
