RE: For the first time, the decay of a Higgs-Boson has been observed
Thank you very much for your comment @lemouth
Firstly, nice to see that you are back after your break.
Thank you very much for the link to the original, I have added it as a reference.
This is unfortunately far from being true...
That's a pity, since all the sources I've read through have written of a confirmation of the standard model. For my part, I would have liked that this is confirmed so far. But my sources, as well as I seem to have added something wishful thinking. I have changed the corresponding passages in the text.
Btw. It's nice to get some criticism, too. Thank you for that. :-)
Yeah, science news websites easily modify things (not necessarily on purpose). When some text is taken from one source that is taking it from another source and so on, this can happen.
To be more specific, the LHC will barely be able to get the order of magnitude of the Higgs trilinear self-coupling (an interaction of 3 Higgs bosons), and only after accounting for all data to be recorded for the next 20 years. There is also a quartic Higgs coupling (4 Higgs boson) for which a next machine should be built. The LHC will not be able to get it at all.
Thanks for adding the extra source that is the only relevant one in fact :)
Yes, that's right. It can happen so quickly. Or one interprets something slightly different into a statement.
Then there are many more discoveries waiting for us. The analysis of this data should then take quite some time.
I think I had already read something about a larger particle accelerator somewhere, but that was still music of the future.
You're welcome. If there's anything wrong, I'll be glad to correct it.
