Rolf Heuer: "I Think We Have It" !

Jul 04 2012 | comment(s)

Rolf is drawing the conclusions. He just asked the audience:

"I think we have it. Do you agree ?" And a roar of consensus fills the auditorium.

The slide says "The observation of a new particle consistent with a Higgs boson".

It is a historic milestone, but only the beginning.

A standing ovation follows. Then a connection with Melbourne, with the other auditorium applauding. Now questions in the CERN site ensuing.

Theorists take the stage, Higgs saying it is an extraordinary achievement for the lab, and that he is glad that it happened in his lifetime.

A very moving finale !

First and foremost, this kind of discovery does put to rest the idea that the "LHC hasn't found anything (except the Higgs)." There have been things like this and the pentaquark...

Does this Toponium "particle" have the potential to probe BSM physics? Or tell us something profound about the SM (in addition to its own fascinating existence)?
