    This series has made the discovery a lot easier to understand and the "bumps" in the graph that gets everyone excited make a lot more sense.

      Hmmm, well that makes logical sense. After all, any other vehicle owner would've had a tune up by then. Toyota's, on the other hand, are tougher than an Abramms tank, so tuneups are optional... I wonder how often that Toyota was passing by? Must've been making lots of runs to the beer store...

    Brilliant, you made it simple ! I had never seen something as quickly and efficiently explained as this before. Thank you !
    I really wish you could show us the control room of the LHC in a very detailed fashion, explaining every operator's job, etc ... It would be amazing since it is difficult to have informations on what are the exact procedures, what are the informations displayed on the bunch of screens ...
    Congratulations, your work is really helpful for non-physicists 👍

    Excellent video! This is the clearest explanation I have seen for the Higgs discovery. Thank you and congratulations! I wonder if you could do one on the Higgs mechanism itself. I find that the level of these videos very nicely fills the gap between very basic explanations where all the Physics is lost in analogies and the ones which are meant for people in the field, requiring a strong scientific background. Well done Piotr! Go CERN!

    I feel like Higgs especially suffers from "by physicists for physicists" explanations. By the way, if anyone wants to learn more - I highly recommend the lectures by professor Leonard Susskind, you can find them here on CZcams. There's even a playlist called _"Leonard Susskind - All Stanford physics lectures in order"_ that can be used as a guide. Also _DrPhysicsA_ and _Eugene Khutoryansky_ for individual focused explanations.

    Why are we so sure that the identified peak is due to a lagomorph and not a rodent, such as a vole, that also burrows under trees? I think there is much more to that story than what was revealed here. Nevertheless, this trilogy did provide tremendous insight in a way laypersons, like myself, can get an inkling of the creativity involved in particle physics discoveries. Piotr did an amazing job communicating how the Higgs Boson was proven to exist.

      @@gulabjamun6897 The more statistics you gather the more apparent it is that there is something unexpected happening. This is true for most scientific experiments but for the Higgs Boson it took more than many people and recourses to put the experiment together so that they could observe protons colliding and watch for the unexpected happening. If I recall 350thousand billion proton particle accelerations in the CERN to have enough statistics to verify the result. Please explain anyone if this is wrong. This is what I understand to be the case. I am an artist not a scientist.

    I understand the process that they used to detect a new particle. However, how do they know that this is indeed from a higgs field (that has those properties e.g. affords mass etc) and not a different new particle that also decays into two photons? How do they know for sure it is the specific particle that they are looking for?

So the power of CERN was not needed?

    • @deadpoolgaming8161
      @deadpoolgaming8161 Před 5 měsíci

      peak in the energy means that their is disturbance in the energy of the system, and energy & mass can be converted into each other, that means we created a massive particle and it decayed into other particles,,

      That is the next step, the first one was to learn that there is "something" there. Next, we had to check the properties of the particle (like spin) or how it decays - into what particles and how often. We've learned a lot since 2012 and the particle is looking very much like the standard Higgs now. But we will continue to dig deeper.

    What is the correlation between the energy of the collided beams and the particles which they produce. Are the detectors limited to what energy levels, high and low, that they can detect?

    • @traqq
      @traqq Před 3 lety

      yes, the detectors were designed with certain particle energy levels in mind. In very broad terms, below a certain energy they start becoming inefficient, and for very high energies the energy measurement is becoming less and less precise. This changes a bit from detector to detector and from particle to particle - detection methods are different, and sometimes the detectors intentionally focus on a given energy range of interest
