As per the Moriond Conference on March 13, the ATLAS and CMS collaborators at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) presented preliminary new results that they are closer to the findings that the new particle is looking more and more like a Higgs boson. Many of us remember that the project on Large Hadron Collider was started amid blaze of publicity. Till date, LHC is world's biggest and highest-energy particle accelerator made so far. In laymen's term, it is believed to answer the some of the basic questions in Physics, most basic one being the formation of universe. In scientific terms, it is aimed to answer validity and limitations of the Standard Model, which is the basis of modern elementary particle physics. It also hopes to answer the existence of the hypothesized Higgs boson along with other particles. The Higgs boson is supposed to gives mass to the elementary particles. For those interested in visualizing and learning in detail about it, there is a virtual applicat...
