Unveiling the Universe's Parameters: The Higgs Boson's Mass Revealed
Originally Published 2 years ago — by IFLScience
Physicists at CERN's ATLAS Collaboration have achieved the most precise measurement of the Higgs boson's mass to date, with an error of less than one part in one thousand. The Higgs boson's mass is a fundamental parameter that defines various aspects of the universe, and this precise measurement can enhance our understanding of particle interactions. The Higgs boson, discovered in 2012, was the last particle in the Standard Model to be found. The new measurement places its mass at 125.11 ± 0.11 GeV, near the middle of the previously estimated range. The Higgs boson's mass determines its interactions with other particles and plays a crucial role in shaping our understanding of physics.
