Nobel Prize-winning Physicist Peter Higgs, whose name was also given to the Higgs boson, passed away at the age of 94.
We use it to understand particle physics and “Standard Model” There is a very important particle in the approach called: Higgs boson (or also known as the God particle). He devoted 50 years of his life to the discovery of this particle. higgsHe succeeded in observing the particle in 2012 and won the Nobel Prize the following year. Peter Higgs passed away at his home in Scotland at the age of 94.
Alan Walker, a physicist from the University of Edinburgh and a close friend of Higgs, stated that the cause of death of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist was that he was alive. blood disorder showed. Higgs continued his work as Emeritus Professor at this university.
He became known for his God particle
Other particles were discovered in 1964 To explain how it can gather mass Higgs, who suggested that a new particle must exist, thus eliminated an important deficiency in the Standard Model. The Standard Model is at the basis of all our knowledge about particle physics and the forces that shape the universe.
Does not like attention very much and prefers to spend time in open areas Peter HiggsHe was known as an interesting figure who did not use television or mobile phones and did not have e-mail. He couldn’t hold back his tears when he heard that the Higgs boson was observed in the experiment carried out at CERN on July 4, 2012.
