Fermilab experiments constrain Higgs mass. Important parts of the measurement profit from NeuroBayes®.
For particle physicists it is one if the last puzzle pieces missing to complete the theory known to them as the “Standard Model”. This Standard Model describes the structure of all matter, the properties of the particles making up matter and their interactions. Solely the origin of the mass of the elementary particles (fermions and bosons) cannot yet be explained adequately by the Standard Model. A possible explanation is given by the so called “Higgs Mechanism”. This claims that the masses of particles originate from their interaction with the Higgs Field. For years now, particle physicists from all over the globe have been trying to find the Higgs particle. Up until now though, it has proved elusive.
Now, scientists at the Fermlab (Chicago) have succeeded in constraining the possible mass range for the Higgs particle -should it actually exist- even further. This was achieved by combining many individual measurements at the experiments CDF and DZero.
For some of the particularly tricky measurements NeuroBayes® played the decisive role and thus contributed greatly to the quality and precision of the final result.
Further measurements at the particle accelerator LHC at CERN, that is anticipated to start up this autumn, are supposed to answer the question of the existence of the Higgs particle in the coming years. Also in these future measurements NeuroBayes® will most likely make a significant contribution.
