More than 300 feet underground, outside Geneva, Switzerland, trillions and trillions of subatomic particles streak around a massive man-made track at nearly the speed of light. As the particles ...

The Higgs boson self-coupling is a phenomenon where the Higgs interacts with itself, which can manifest in particle collisions at the CERN LHC through the production of Higgs boson pairs. This ...

The most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...

Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs died earlier this year. Twelve years ago this week, physicists discovered the particle that bears his name. When researchers at the Large Hadron Collider announced the ...

Peter Higgs lived a singular life. He developed a physics theory that stood a chance of radically advancing our understanding of the universe, and lived to see generations of experimentalists chase ...
