DEFINITELY CAN BE: Presumably BOZON

As is often the case with the rumors at all, talk about the discovery of the Higgs boson were half-truths.

Recently, two international groups of researchers working on the Large Hadron Collider, presented the latest results of searches of the notorious Higgs boson, predicted by some theories, but the ... Rumors, in general, confirmed: both teams have reported very promising results, indicating that the Higgs boson does indeed exist, and that its mass in range predicted by theory. Unfortunately, the results are still not completely reliable.

Gives some confidence that both groups received signal is approximately the same energy level, confirming the results of each other - though they have worked with different ways of decay, revealing different particles that can be produced in the decay of the Higgs boson. Alas, one of the observed peak of the right was not the only one that allows some experts rightly note: all matches may be nothing more than a coincidence.

The available data obtained by two huge detectors operating at the LHC - ATLAS and CMS. The accelerator accelerates protons to an enormous speed and confronts them head-on, which leads to the appearance of much heavier particles. Many of them are unstable and decompose trillionth of a second behind, causing the whole family and the generation of more stable particles. They capture something and detectors, and then the scientists on the characteristics and composition of these particles, ... This process is incredibly complex, as evidenced by at least the fact that each detector has a team that includes hundreds of experts. And in order to collect enough data, we have to spend thousands of collision, and then analyze all.

After two years of ATLAS and CMS, seemed to have accumulated enough data to conclusively establish ( or disprove ) the existence of the Higgs boson. And at first glance, the results give a definite hope, though too weak to finally be called the discovery of.

Something similar was last summer, when both teams are informed of the possible traces of the Higgs boson, although at the time the alleged allegedly broke up into a set of particles, some of which detectors just were not able to detect. This led to a major problem - the inability to establish at least approximate the observed boson mass presumably. Now, this chance is associated with the decay paths, which are formed only detected particles, which allows to draw some conclusions on the possible mass of the particle.

... The peak of her solitary and located in the vicinity of 126 GeV * B, statistical analysis showed that the probability of a purely random occurrence of this peak in the range 110-150 GeV * In no more than 1/15. In addition, the authors tested and the possibility that boson decays to a pair of Z-bosons, which, in turn, break, or an electron and a positron or a muon and antimuonium. The result led them to 125 GeV In * - based on previous data, the likelihood that these events are statistical noise does not exceed 1/100.

At CMS, it would seem, have found something very similar. In this detector, followed by the same potential degradation products of the particle and at the same time for the three other possible ways of decomposition - and found peaks in the number of downright suspicious: in all five cases. In general, they lead to the mass of 124 GeV * In that practically coincides with the results of ATLAS ( with the possibility that this is not the signal and noise, not more than 1/35 ).

But from that point begin the difficulties. A careful look at data collected on the CMS, has led many experts to be less optimistic. For example, for the decay to two protons detected a small peak at 124 GeV * The perfectly consistent with that obtained by ATLAS, - and another peak at 133 GeV In *. The authors have rejected it, considering the noise, simply because the other decays at 133 GeV * in any of the peaks do not. The situation is similar in other ways - for example, in the case of decay to an electron and a positron, or muon and antimuonium, has the same peak at 124 GeV * B, and second, to 119.5 GeV In *. And here it is simply discarded, as the fluctuation.

Of course, no one expected that the result will be absolutely perfect, thin as a single peak on a smooth background level in the rest of the schedule. But such serious deviations from the ideal can confidently say that there is no certainty in the detection of the Higgs boson is still no.
