Higgs boson was discovered at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in 2012. Particle has mass of 125 billion electron volts and zero spin. Named after Peter Higgs, who first theorized its existence in 1964
Bosons carry energy and forces throughout the universe. Particles are divided into fermions and bosons in the standard model. Bosons have whole integer spins, unlike fermions' half-integer spins
Journal covers Particle, Nuclear, Mathematical, Atomic physics and Quantum electrodynamics. Particle physics (39.05%), Nuclear physics (28.48%) and Mathematical physics (17.34%) dominate. Main emphasis on Quantum chromodynamics, particularly Gluon. Discusses Higgs boson, LHC, Neutrino and Lepton research
Particle physics studies fundamental particles and forces in matter and radiation. Particles are classified as fermions (matter) and bosons (force-carrying). Three generations of fermions exist, with first generation containing quarks. Particles have corresponding antiparticles with opposite electric charges
CERN is an intergovernmental organization based in Meyrin, Switzerland. Founded in 1954 with 12 founding members, Israel became first non-European full member in 2014. Operates 24 full members and 10 associate members. Employs 2,660 staff members and hosts 12,400 users from 70+ countries
