Presentation Transcript

  1. The Higgs Mechanism(TU Dresden, Würzburg Univ) • Particle(metal sheet)moves in • Vacuum(Air) or • Higgs field(Silicone Oil)with variable • Mass(inclination angle)and can create • Higgs Bosons(bull’s-eye bulge) YOU CAN TOUCH IT! Crank Air Hight Adjustment Inclination angle Silicon oil Plate Bull’s Eye

  2. Suggestion for Demonstration • Movement of the plate in the air (= space without Higgs field) • Almost without friction  “massless” • Movement of the plate in Silicon oil (= space with Higgs field) • Non-zero friction, need force to accelerate  felt as having “mass” • Adjusting the inclination angle of the plate • Variation of the friction =variation of mass(NB: The equivalent particle property in nature is still unknown and presents one of nature’s big unanswered questions) • Fast movement at a large inclination angle (=high energy massive particles: bottom, top, W, Z ) • Silicon oil is set in motion • Buckling of the bulls eye= Higgs Particles (VISIBLE!) • In reality this “curl” of Higgs Field (= Higgs Particles)only travels an extremely short distance (~ fm = proton size)and then transforms into detectable particles
