[...] • “Seminars proper start at 9am Geneva time (3am Eastern time, midnight Pacific time, 5pm Melbourne time). One from ATLAS, by Fabiola Giannoti, and one from CMS, by Joe Incandela. Then a press conference after. Remember what we’re looking for: how significant is the signal, do the two experiments agree with each other, does the rate agree with the Standard Model prediction, are different channels mutually consistent with each other.” — Way early this morning, while most of us slept, physicist and blogger Sean Carroll was live-blogging the Higgs Boson announcement from CERN in Genev….

It is a long time a particle with mass nearly 123Gev is predicted in the site on an unitary theory , and we have also in this site a field nearly the Higgs field which explains the mass of the particles.

@Entropy and backAlleySUSY: Thanks! I’m looking into both of your suggestions. backAlleySUSY, are Barger and Phillips the authors you’re thinking about?

On the origin of mass; the hype seems to be that the Higgs field imbues all elementary particles with mass. Frank Wilczek, in his many writings, and Tom Kibble (http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Englert-Brout-Higgs-Guralnik-Hagen-Kibble_mechanism)
tell a different story.

Kibble – “It is sometimes said that the Higgs field gives masses to all other particles, but that is not strictly correct. It is important to note that most of the mass of the nucleon in particular does not arise in this way. Only the masses of the quarks come from the Englert-Brout-Higgs-Guralnik-Hagen-Kibble mechanism. The larger part of the nucleon mass comes from a mechanism along the lines sketched out earlier by Nambu (see Englert-Brout-Higgs-Guralnik-Hagen-Kibble mechanism (history)).”

Can someone explain.
