The Higgs Boson Discovered by CERN May Be an Impostor

The scientific community was extremely excited about the possible discovery of the Higgs Boson, announced by CERN last week. However, according to a note published by Cornell University in the United States, the observed particle may not have been the famous Boson, but rather an "imposter."

Detecting and proving the existence of these particles is not a simple task. After all, scientists can't see them. Instead, they analyze the results of the experiment, ie the resulting particles. And to prove that the Higgs Boson really was discovered, the experiment and measurements must be repeated over and over again.

However, physicists at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois have analyzed CERN's measurements, suggesting that the discovered particle is actually consistent with two other exotic Higgs particle varieties. These "impostors" would be part of an interpretation not based on the standard model, which predicts the existence of several Boson-like particles instead of one, responsible for the formation of the Higgs field.

It is too early to say that CERN has, with total and absolute certainty, discovered the Higgs Boson or that it is an imposing particle. Everything seems to indicate that last week's experiment did indeed prove the existence of the God Particle, but we will have to wait a while until all measurements prove that the standard model was correct, even though there is a chance that the discovery will reveal a particle. Brand new.
