What is the name of the so called God Particle that the Hadron Collider scientists claim to have found evidence of in December 2011?
Oh-My-God particle interaction with a proton or neutron on Earth, with most of the energy remaining in the form of kinetic energy of the products of the interaction. The effective energy available for such a collision is , where "E" is the particle's energy and "mc" is the mass energy of the proton. For the Oh-My-God particle, this gives , roughly 60 times the collision energy of the Large Hadron Collider. While the particle's energy was higher than anything achieved in terrestrial accelerators, it was still about times lower than the Planck energy. Particles of such energy would be required in order
Large Hadron Collider Large Hadron Collider The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider and the largest machine in the world. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and hundreds of universities and laboratories, as well as more than 100 countries. It lies in a tunnel in circumference and as deep as beneath the France–Switzerland border near Geneva. Its first data-taking period lasted from March 2010 to early 2013 at an energy of 3.5 to 4 teraelectronvolts (TeV) per beam (7 to 8
