The LHC just see his first particle beams make full turns, opening the hunting season of Higgs boson and the mini black holes. However, Surprisingly, the father of the theory of mini holes Black, Stephen Hawking, bet that the LHC will not observer the Peter Higgs boson. The academic and Media are troubled, but probably for not always grasped what was really said Hawking ...
The Higgs boson is a cornerstone of model standard. It gives a mass of generalizations photons, which are bosons W, and W-Z0s weak interactions manifested in the form well known radioactivity. It is also an element essential to preserve what is called renormalisabilite quantities observable, speaking in the quantum field theory relativists, the basis of the description of the forces of the standard model ( equations Yang-Mills).
Without this property, endless quantities appear in the calculations, completely destroying the theory. Worse, without Higgs boson and energies of agenda TeV, precisely the order of those allowed the LHC (
will very soon collusion protons to 10 TeV), violates a fundamental theory of quantum mechanics: the unitarite, clearly, the sum of probabilities involved in the process is more equal to one. A absurdity ...
Yet the past 20 years, Stephen Hawking claims that something is wrong with the Higgs. In 1995, he also published a paper in which he felt that could never observe the famous boson. At A recent interview with the BBC, he even revealed he had bet $ 100 on the absence of discovery Higgs of the LHC!
The case has obviously been a great noise and Peter Higgs, interviewed on this subject at a conference in Edinburgh, replied, a little annoyed: "I am very skeptical Stephens calculations. Frankly, I do not think they are really valid “.
He did not say it did not exist ,a s we have said, the mechanism of Higgs boson seem almost inevitable, even if there some exotic alternatives without the latter being involve parallel worlds. So Stephen Hawking think he really, in contradiction with the majority of the community of elementary particle physicists, that the Higgs does not exist as can be seen here and repeat there?
Unable to speak other than a computer for many years because of his disease Charcot, Hawking carefully chosen phrases that pronounces. Indeed, it often expressed as the oracle Delphi. His words must be carefully weighed.
His work on holes worms and black holes virtual (appearing and disappearing in a vacuum as pairs of virtual particles) to indicate past 20 years that these two strange objects have a strong influence on the so-called scalar particles. If the Higgs boson is much of this nature, then explains Hawking, it should, because of this effect, be unobservable practice in collisions between elementary particles. The Higgs boson is therefore observable if it is not a particle scalar basic composite but, as is the case of a scalar other particle, the pawn, made up of two quarks.
In fact, Hawking is probably much laughter in this time, because he managed a nice media coup. He did not say, indeed, that the Higgs boson did not exist, he simply had reason to believe that it is not
observe the step, which is very different ...
