The Higgs Bozon Is the Keystone of the Standard Model of Particle Physics
The higgs boson is the keystone of the 50 year old set of equations known as the standard model of particle physics. After the dard model was completed in 19 75, its architects almost immediately noticed a problem. The search for super symmetric partner particles began at the large electron positron coliter in the 19 nineties. Researchers assumed the particles were just a little bit vier than their standard model partners and smashed them together to find heavy apparitions among debris. In two thousand 12 it finally struck upon the higgs bozon.
