Higgs boson production

Référence de la vidéo 11922105
Animation of a Higgs boson being produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the particle accelerator at CERN. The LHC accelerates protons to close to the speed of light before smashing them together. Each proton is made up of two up quarks and one down quark, each of which has a different colour charge (red, green and blue here). The quarks are held together by the exchange of gluons. Here, the fusion of gluons in colliding protons produces a Higgs boson (black line), which rapidly decays into a pair of Z bosons (pink), each of which also rapidly decays into a pair of charged leptons and their antiparticles (for instance a muon and an anti-muon). This characteristic decay was one of the events detected at CERN that allowed the Higgs boson to be discovered, as announced in 2012.
