(July 17, 2017 at 1:19 am)Alex K Wrote: In fact, just a couple of weeks ago CERN announced that the interaction of the July 2012 boson with bottom quarks has finally been measured, and has just the expected intensity for a Higgs boson as evidenced by the rate at which the boson is observed to decay to pairs of bottom quarks.

What does this mean? They produced a boson with the same techniques but with new measurement capabilities? I'm confused. And please don't tell me the measurement or anything is 496 something, or I'm officially becoming a numerologist and spending the rest of my life making crayon drawings in a cave.
