Atom-smasher yields first result
Results should aid researchers in their quest for the elusive Higgs bosonIn December, the Large Hadron Collider, the world?s largest particle accelerator, shattered the world record for highest energy particle collisions.A team led by researchers from MIT, CERN and the KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics in Budapest, Hungary, completed work on the first scientific paper analyzing the results of those collisions last week. Its findings show that the collisions produced an unexpectedly high number of particles called mesons ? a factor that will have to be taken into account when physicists start looking for more rarer particles and for the theorized Higgs boson.?This is the very first step in a long road to performing extremely sensitive analyses that can detect particles produced only in one in a billion collisions,? says Gunther Roland, MIT associate professor of physics and an author of the new paper.Roland and MIT professors Wit Busza and Boleslaw Wyslouch, who are members of the CMS (c
