Years After Shutting Down, Tevatron Reveals Properties of Higgs Boson
sciencehabit writes: A U.S. atom smasher has made an important scientific contribution 3.5 years after it shut down. Scientists are reporting that the Tevatron collider in Batavia, Illinois, has provided new details about the nature of the famed Higgs boson — the particle that's key to physicists' explanation of how other fundamental particles get their mass and the piece in a theory called the standard model. The new result bolsters the case that the Higgs, which was discovered at a different atom smasher, exactly fits the standard model predictions.
In a way it would have been more interesting if the Higgs didn't fit our expectations.
Can BAC be used as a weapon?
we need more money to build a bigger one in the states now!! give us funding!!!!
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
My wife is a staff physicist at Fermi National Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. They collected so many exabytes of data from the Tevatron before it was shut down and superseded by the LHC at Cern, that physicists will be spending many more years analyzing the data. Many PhD theses and major discoveries will likely come out of that mass of data. The work that is going on at Fermi now will likely be similarly important. I can only think of one other neutrino experiment that can duplicate (maybe) what they are doing at FermiLab now. For more really interesting information about what they are doing there, go to www.fnal.gov.
Isn't that still too high of an energy level for string theory to be pursued any longer?

The submitter funnily avoids naming the largest and most complex instrument ever built by man, the European Large Hadron Collider, by casually downplaying and referring to it as "a different atom smasher". Methinks the submitter is an envious American.
We should always remain skeptical of new theories such as this. That's how science works.
The purpose of existence is to make money.
This is a family site. No bosom talk. No Yippppeeeee!
And when you make a model where the experiment defies causality? You don't then say "oh crap, lets rethink", instead you claim reverse causality! See Delayed Quantum Choice Eraser!
If you are in so deep that you never learn from the mistake then you are lost to science.
Look at Quantum Eraser, a claimed quantum entanglement experiment. You filter photons at Ds that have the 45 degree property by only considering result when their is a corresponding photon at Dp. No Quantum Entanglement at all just dull ordinary physics. Not even complicated to understand. ,90 degrees} {t=3, 45 degrees}, you filter for the 45 degree property with the polarizer, i.e. only the photons at t=1 and t=3 are considered and only the corresponding slit result considered. Not that the act of measuring the property sets it by spooky distance stuff, you simply throw away any result that isn't for 45 degree photons!
The photon emitted might be {t=0, 14 degrees}, {t=1, 45 degrees} {t=2
Does that mean Higgs Boson doesn't exist? Or is simply a function (e.g. if the detector detects in quanta and the particle exists in fixed stable states, then the your ability to detect it would require some function of the two features to coincide) ? Who the f*ck knows, the problem here is that so much faulty logic has been accepted on the "its just the way it is" principle, that you don't know how much of it underpins modern particle physics.
Even after the surgical removal of 4 ribs and 2 vertebrae, even if John Holdren can suck his penis does not make the shuttering of the Tevatron right.
Ha ha
Don't forget that Fermilab has a music video, Particle Business! https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

And that's your big contribution to the discussion? That's all you had to offer?
Methinks you're an envious non-American. Methinks you're a fucking troll.
Cheers.
