Hmmm, well that makes logical sense. After all, any other vehicle owner would've had a tune up by then. Toyota's, on the other hand, are tougher than an Abramms tank, so tuneups are optional... I wonder how often that Toyota was passing by? Must've been making lots of runs to the beer store...
Brilliant, you made it simple ! I had never seen something as quickly and efficiently explained as this before. Thank you ! I really wish you could show us the control room of the LHC in a very detailed fashion, explaining every operator's job, etc ... It would be amazing since it is difficult to have informations on what are the exact procedures, what are the informations displayed on the bunch of screens ... Congratulations, your work is really helpful for non-physicists 👍
This series of three videos is, without doubt, the best thing I have ever watched on UA-cam. The presentation is very clear and the use of occasional humor is excellent. And I learned a lot too. Thank you so much for this contribution.
Excellent video! This is the clearest explanation I have seen for the Higgs discovery. Thank you and congratulations! I wonder if you could do one on the Higgs mechanism itself. I find that the level of these videos very nicely fills the gap between very basic explanations where all the Physics is lost in analogies and the ones which are meant for people in the field, requiring a strong scientific background. Well done Piotr! Go CERN!
Fantastic job on the explanation of finding new particle. It happens that I literally visit CERN yesterday. It still keeps me amazed of what I saw there. Thanks to you I gained one step closer of grasping how the new particles are detected/discovered. Lots of appreciations!
Guys, this series of videos is just awesome. I never understood all of these experiment, now at least I know the level 0. So here is a random thank you :)
One of the clearest, most digestable videos on such complex topic I've seen. Well done! I feel like Higgs especially suffers from "by physicists for physicists" explanations. By the way, if anyone wants to learn more - I highly recommend the lectures by professor Leonard Susskind, you can find them here on UA-cam. There's even a playlist called _"Leonard Susskind - All Stanford physics lectures in order"_ that can be used as a guide. Also _DrPhysicsA_ and _Eugene Khutoryansky_ for individual focused explanations.
This was easy to understand! Great breakdown! This is coming from someone who didn’t get past algebra in high school and no college lol but I really loved it and understood. Can’t wait to watch more videos & learn more
This explanation/series was very very easy to understand and I only finished my second year of undergraduate physics. Thank you. Edit: Also, is it possible to make a video/series on the search for magnetic monopoles please?
@@gulabjamun6897 The more statistics you gather the more apparent it is that there is something unexpected happening. This is true for most scientific experiments but for the Higgs Boson it took more than many people and recourses to put the experiment together so that they could observe protons colliding and watch for the unexpected happening. If I recall 350thousand billion proton particle accelerations in the CERN to have enough statistics to verify the result. Please explain anyone if this is wrong. This is what I understand to be the case. I am an artist not a scientist.
@@gulabjamun6897 Well as I said I'm an artist so maybe is the blind leading the blind. The more you van find to read or watch the better you will understand. You're welcome.
I understand the process that they used to detect a new particle. However, how do they know that this is indeed from a higgs field (that has those properties e.g. affords mass etc) and not a different new particle that also decays into two photons? How do they know for sure it is the specific particle that they are looking for?
I concur with your thoughts and questions. If decay of the Higgs Boson imparts mass to another particle, is there a way to detect the transfer of that mass?
This is an amazing video series. It's explained with a language, that even a dummy like me can understand. Thank You for that. I have a question, and a request. Question: why collide two protons specifically? A request: could you please create a series in the same fasion, explaining all subatomic particles, their basic properties, how those interact with eachother, and why do they matter for us?
You know there's also the possibility that equals MC square is a development wall structure and make it sure we can't figure out the other side of the rotation or learning to take into your rotation through an opposite spread That's why I have a hard time using of trying to or even wanting to understand someone else's mathematical complexity cuz I don't know the recycled rotation of vowels or the abbreviation wording
Beautiful and insightful illustration of search for Higgs boson. Now, the principal behind the search may seem". simple ", but the detectors is awesome, and inspiring. I would like a personal visit just to savor the awesome feeling of LHC. Is it possible to visit the facility? Thanks for the illustrations and keep up with the awesome work. Stay safe and healthy. All the best. From Hker
Why are we so sure that the identified peak is due to a lagomorph and not a rodent, such as a vole, that also burrows under trees? I think there is much more to that story than what was revealed here. Nevertheless, this trilogy did provide tremendous insight in a way laypersons, like myself, can get an inkling of the creativity involved in particle physics discoveries. Piotr did an amazing job communicating how the Higgs Boson was proven to exist.
That is the next step, the first one was to learn that there is "something" there. Next, we had to check the properties of the particle (like spin) or how it decays - into what particles and how often. We've learned a lot since 2012 and the particle is looking very much like the standard Higgs now. But we will continue to dig deeper.
Sir I'd like to ask, how did we even knew that the peak referred to the mass of a particle, a higgs boson... couldn't it had been some other particle? or we just call the particle with that specific mass as a higgs boson?
1) couldn't the peak be from the decay of a different different particle? How could you be so sure that it was from the Higgs? 2) How did you know that you reached the energy to create a Higgs? 3) The Higgs particle particle was detected at different excellerators? So the power of CERN was not needed?
answer is they see their decay mode, boson particles have different kind of decay mode, you can read nuclear physics decay reactions and conservation laws,,,
peak in the energy means that their is disturbance in the energy of the system, and energy & mass can be converted into each other, that means we created a massive particle and it decayed into other particles,,
my heart is the higgs boson and it translates into love in its purest form. using the dice analogy, i know how to rigg them so that they always hit the number 4
Fantastic and fantastically explained! Of course understanding the conclusions when really well explained is easier than understanding all the science that lead and support such conclusions ;) Anyways, you got me very interested in magic gambling rabbits (following the analogy), so: How strong is our prediction that it was a rabbit? and not a squirrel, or a bird? or an animal not yet discovered? Where do we expect to find magic gambling rabbits in the wild?
Ok, I watched ep 3.5 :D It kind of answers both, but the second one maybe not fully. Do we expect to have Higgs bosons "generated" in other conditions? How is the life of a magic gambling rabbit?
In the theory , we learned a lot of the higgs , how is responsible for masses and symmetry breaking, how do we know it's exacly the higgs of the theory? Beside it's mass?
@11:38 it also doesn't account for all of the energy that was used to run the operation, which contributed to global warming. I thought that when you busted open an proton, you'd see 3 quarks and some gluons. So, why don't we see 6 quarks when we collide 2 protons? Also, ok the Higgs decays, rapidly, into 2 protons. Doesn't that mean that it's really 'decaying' into 2 groups of 3 quarks?
Why we identify this γγ pick as a Higgs Boson? Because the intrinsic mass its much higher than the other already known particles? or is something more?
A video on CERN's future plans for next generation colliders would be nice. I know a larger circular collider is in the air but I have read a linear lepton collider is suppose to be up and running as the LHC is decommissioned around 2035. Why build a linear collider at lower energy than the LHC?
Before knowing and understanding these facts , it was very doubtful to believe how cern do such precise measurement for smallest stuff but you are revealing history of its truth
The only question I have is. For the Rabbit analogy to work was there someone outside of the experiment (obviously not a gambling rabbit) who was instructed to turn the dice to their own favorite number each time? Otherwise the dice rolls were in fact random.
Beautiful video, I'd appreciate if someone could answer this naive question: What if in an experiment multiple short life particles appear, which I assume would in turn generate multiple peaks in the probability distribution, how does one discriminate between these transient particles, how do we know that one is Higgs boson and the other isn't?
you're right, there can be multiple peaks if there are multiple particles. In fact that happens very often. To discriminate between them you can look at several extra things, for example do the particles decay into the same final states (the peaks appear in the same distributions). It does happen that there exist several very similar particles and that just gives a series of peaks. Look for "dimuon mass spectrum" on google image search for example and you'll see what I mean
I don’t see any mention in the comments of he possibility the center of mass of the dice is not perfectly in its center and therefore produces some bias to the 3 being rolled more often.
What is the correlation between the energy of the collided beams and the particles which they produce. Are the detectors limited to what energy levels, high and low, that they can detect?
yes, the detectors were designed with certain particle energy levels in mind. In very broad terms, below a certain energy they start becoming inefficient, and for very high energies the energy measurement is becoming less and less precise. This changes a bit from detector to detector and from particle to particle - detection methods are different, and sometimes the detectors intentionally focus on a given energy range of interest
This series has made the discovery a lot easier to understand and the "bumps" in the graph that gets everyone excited make a lot more sense.
Hmmm, well that makes logical sense. After all, any other vehicle owner would've had a tune up by then. Toyota's, on the other hand, are tougher than an Abramms tank, so tuneups are optional... I wonder how often that Toyota was passing by? Must've been making lots of runs to the beer store...

It boils down to two points in the end: Anomalies and sample sizes. Basically the core of what CERN is about.

Great, finally I understand, thank you, keep making videos! Like if the Higgs decays so fast, how does it mediate mass?
So beautifully explained.thank you
that guy must have a large wardrobe
Really awesome series of videos. Explained it all in a very clear and easy to understand way.
Could you cover the CP invariance issue in as well as you did this one?
I never could clearly understand the Bell's
Theorem
Clear & simple explanation. Thanks for the clear insights.
Thank you! :D Made everything crystal clear!
Brilliant explanation
I will definitely be using you in my final paper lol. thank you for your information. it really helps me understand easily about the Higgs boson.
amazing!!!!!!!! thanks for explaining! it's much more clear now

I wish the entire world could spend more time involved with elevated topics such as this. I think every person would be better off.
Something looks random initially, turns out be remarkable discovery later.. Awsome !!
A very clever and clear presentation. Congratulations!
He is the best presenter in CERN
Please reduce the background music. Could not really focus on the topic. You explained it very nice
Very good series! Congrats for the great work!
What if the rabit prefers 4, but it was a squirel that loved 3?
How do we know it was a higs?

When I pooped this morning I placed my phone on the restroom floor and placed the plunger on the phone and listened to Don Mcleen American pie.
Absolutely clear
Time to try this at home
I'm amazed!
Yo i completely understand it now but the particle itself is giving me nightmares, how is it so powerful yet so mortal
Very helpful, thanks for sharing 👍
Where can I get the plot animation of the combined 7 TeV and 8 TeV c.m. shown in the video?
I understands clearly.. thanks

Interesting, but if u run it closer to infinity maybe the suspected Higgs peak changes?
Very very interesting👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗

In my opinion, I think that the hypothetical analysis which based on randomness is not gonna give adequate result.
Nice
How do you know it is HB particle you found? Why not something else?
I don’t see any mention in the comments of he possibility the center of mass of the dice is not perfectly in its center and therefore produces some bias to the 3 being rolled more often.
Very nice series. I look forward to one day hear about what the new favourite number of the bunny will be 👍
So how do you discover other particles? Is this just a method for finding a Higgs Boson particle? Did I miss something?
So what is the calculated mass of higgs Boson?
125 giga electro volt ( in terms of energy)
Really great explanation!!!
Is it possible to visit Cern by myself? Not with my school
It used to be possible before the pandemic. For the moment only virtual visits are possible. See visit.cern/
What is the correlation between the energy of the collided beams and the particles which they produce. Are the detectors limited to what energy levels, high and low, that they can detect?

This changes a bit from detector to detector and from particle to particle - detection methods are different, and sometimes the detectors intentionally focus on a given energy range of interest
How do you know still that is the Higgs boson and its properties
now i see why cern should collect more data to analyze
