Fermilab denied rumors that have been found God particle

For the Italian physicist Tommaso – Dorigo said in a blog of a particle accelerator, the United States may have found the so-called “God particle” – the Higgs boson of the rumors, the physicists have come out the rumor. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory U.S. spokesman has denied that the scientists have passed one trillion electron volts accelerator (Tevatron) found that “God particle” stories.

Trillion electron-volt accelerator Illinois Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), is the Large Hadron Collider in Europe’s most important competitors. Two large particle accelerators are waging a fierce competition, the first attempt to discover the mysterious Higgs boson. Found on the trillion electron volt accelerator rumors Higgs boson particle physicist from Italy Tommaso – Dorigo’s blog.

However, a spokesman for Fermilab claimed that “on Higgs boson has been found to rumors, there is no value.” On Tuesday, Fermilab in their “Twitter” in a statement: “Let’s clarify: This is a blog owner to chase fame and fortune by spreading rumors. is that simple.”

D0 Detector at Fermilab spokesman Stefan - Saldner – Laimubode said, “There is no standard model Higgs boson of any evidence of signals. We also need more data. from the blog rumor is not true, and blog can not be regarded as a reliable source of information. ”

Higgs boson has been widely accepted for Theoretical Physics “standard model” theory is essential, it is a sub-atomic particles can be used to explain the quality of the source of other particles. However, after several years of attempts and efforts, has not yet been able to detect this mysterious particle.

Last week, University of Padua, Italy physicist Tommaso – Dorigo in his blog said, “I am from two different, independent sources may be inquired into, one trillion electron volt accelerator experiments discovered Higgs Boson evidence of the existence of weak signal. a source is observed that the ‘three times the standard deviation effect’; while the other sources did not elaborate, but referred to the experiment was an unexpected result. ”

The so-called “three times the standard deviation effect” refers to a statistical certainty about the result, that statistically speaking, 99.7% of the experimental results is the possibility of Higgs bosons. However, there may be errors in the data and volatility, so physicists need to “five times the standard deviation effect” can be confident that the reliability was found.

This week two, physicists Roberts – Mortel also published a more detailed blog on the trillion electron volts accelerator find Higgs boson rumors. However, he also pointed out that his anonymous sources is questionable.

Higgs boson discovery is the Large Hadron Collider in Europe’s major objectives. However, it was that the Large Hadron Collider at the earliest to 2011 have detected a signal from the Higgs boson capacity. Thus, in Europe before the Large Hadron Collider, the most likely to find Higgs boson, only one trillion electron volts accelerator.

Particle physicists will be held July 22 to 28 in Paris at the International Conference on High Energy Physics, to publish their latest experimental data obtained.
