The Search for Higgs Boson: The LEP Era

March 16, 2023

With the discovery of W and Z bosons, much of electroweak theory had been confirmed. In 1991, the CERN laboratory turned on a much bigger accelerator, called LEP, to look for Higgs boson. […]

Higgs Field and the Search for W and Z Bosons

March 14, 2023

Modern electroweak theory predicted that there should be a massless photon, a massive neutral particle called Z boson, two massive electrically charged particles called W bosons, and a massive and neutral particle called Higgs boson. […]

Higgs Boson and the Higgs Field

March 14, 2023

Electromagnetism and weak nuclear force were unified into a combined force called the electroweak force. The electroweak unification predicted four particles that carried the electroweak force and had zero mass. […]

Planck Constant: What Is It Good For?

February 7, 2023

In addition to introducing the Planck constant, Max Planck realized that he could take ratios of five fundamental constants using just one unit and thus managed to solve any potential for miscommunication. […]
