Physicists finally uncover Higgs ‘bottom’ decay
Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have observed a previously undetected way that the Higgs boson can decay — into an elementary particle called the bottom quark, and its antiparticle. The finding by physicists at CERN confirms a theoretical prediction about the Higgs, a particle that is part of the mechanism that gives other particles their masses. The discovery of the Higgs in 2012 put in place the final piece of the standard model of particle physics.
