Physicists Discover Rare Higgs Boson Decay at Large Hadron Collider
TL;DR
Teams at CERN have announced the first evidence of a rare decay in the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider Physics Conference in Belgrade. The Higgs boson is essential to explanations of why certain other particles have mass. The Higgs boson can decay in multiple ways, the first of which was reported in 2018. These end up with different particles, and the distribution is thought to depend on its mass, now narrowed down to a tight range around 125.45 billion electronvolts.
