A physics essay of Higgs Boson

José E. Pérez Narváez

I had read a lot of physics articles, and interesting news about planets, particles, new materials discovered, but, there is one article that got a lot of my attention. This one is the Higgs Boson. It got my attention because they (the scientist) explain it as the ‘Particle of God’. They called it the Particle of God because this particle can explain why there is mass on some particles. Also is a missing key particle that can enable a more complex search about the beginning of the Universe. On this essay I will explain the groups that are involved in this investigation, why they want it to find this particle, and what benefits it will give to the world.

The group involved on this investigation is CERN. This organization has thousands of scientists working on this investigation from all over the world. In this immense group, there are a group of Puerto Ricans of the UPRM. I know that because one is a friend, and because of him I know about this project. CERN is an important organization that is known for their unique laboratories for particle physics, and is an organization for Nuclear Research.

This particle was first sense in 2012 after years of experiments, efforts are on the way to confirm if the Higgs Boson exist or do not exist with a Large Hadron Collider. A group of scientist says that they confirmed that that was the particle, and for the first time they say they saw it. This is an important discovery because, as I said on the introduction they want to find this particle to expand the theory of the Big Bang Theory in other words they want to get a better view of the beginning of the universe, also if they find this particle they can create new theories, and with this discovery they can create new equation that will involve this new particle. 

If the scientist finds how this particle could react. The effects can be only positive or negative, only one way. It will depend on what hands the Particle of God is given. This is because, this particle it is believed to be the particle which can give mass to the matter. If the scientist know how to create mass they could build almost anything in existence. If they completely find the Higgs Boson they would know in more detail the aspect of mass and could go further to the mysteries of the universe for example the dark matter.

                                                                         

This particle is a very interesting one. It could help the world or destroy it. It could help humanity in the future or obliterated. This Particle of God has the mystery that many scientists want to discover. They are not far away to that accomplishment, but it will be interesting when it happens, when they see the particle for sure. It’s going to be a great day to those who put all the effort into it. Also they will be proud, but until then the mystery will continue and the Higgs Boson is going to be “The Particle of God”.
