  2. Higgs boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson

    The first extensive search for the Higgs boson was conducted at the Large Electron–Positron Collider (LEP) at CERN in the 1990s. At the end of its service in 2000, LEP had found no conclusive evidence for the Higgs. [r] This implied that if the Higgs boson were to exist it would have to be heavier than 114.4 GeV/c 2. [98]

  3. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    This can be done in terms of the chemical elements present, or by molecular structure e.g., water, protein, fats (or lipids), hydroxyapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such as glycogen and glucose) and DNA. In terms of tissue type, the body may be analyzed into water, fat, connective tissue, muscle, bone, etc.

  4. Protein as nutrient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_in_human_nutrition

    Protein is a nutrient needed by the human body for growth and maintenance. Aside from water, proteins are the most abundant kind of molecules in the body. Protein can be found in all cells of the body and is the major structural component of all cells in the body, especially muscle. This also includes body organs, hair and skin.

  5. Biological value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_value

    A BV of 100% indicates complete utilization of a dietary protein, i.e. 100% of the protein ingested and absorbed is incorporated into proteins into the body. The value of 100% is an absolute maximum, no more than 100% of the protein ingested can be utilized (in the equation above N e(u) and N e(f) cannot go negative, setting 100% as the maximum ...

  6. W and Z bosons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_and_Z_bosons

    It requires the existence of another particle, the Higgs boson, which has since been found at the Large Hadron Collider. Of the four components of a Goldstone boson created by the Higgs field, three are absorbed by the W +, Z 0, and W − bosons to form their longitudinal components, and the remainder appears as the spin-0 Higgs boson.

  7. 1964 PRL symmetry breaking papers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_PRL_symmetry_breaking...

    Two of the three PRL papers (by Higgs and by GHK) contained equations for the hypothetical field that eventually would become known as the Higgs field and its hypothetical quantum, the Higgs boson. [3] [4] Higgs's subsequent 1966 paper showed the decay mechanism of the boson; only a massive boson can decay and the decays can prove the mechanism.

  8. Higgs mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_mechanism

    In the Standard Model of particle physics, the Higgs mechanism is essential to explain the generation mechanism of the property "mass" for gauge bosons.Without the Higgs mechanism, all bosons (one of the two classes of particles, the other being fermions) would be considered massless, but measurements show that the W +, W −, and Z 0 bosons actually have relatively large masses of around 80 ...

  9. Search for the Higgs boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_for_the_Higgs_boson

    The search for the Higgs boson was a 40-year effort by physicists to prove the existence or non-existence of the Higgs boson, first theorised in the 1960s.The Higgs boson was the last unobserved fundamental particle in the Standard Model of particle physics, and its discovery was described as being the "ultimate verification" of the Standard Model.
