  1. 🙈 New preprint, Part V: *What the Higgs Potential Cannot See*.

    If you build gauge–Higgs unification models: there is a discrete choice you may be scanning over for nothing. On \(T^2/\mathbb{Z}_2\) each bulk multiplet carries boundary signs \(\eta_0,\eta_1\). For a whole class of bulk matter, the product \(\eta=\eta_0\eta_1\) has no observable consequence in the Higgs sector at one loop. Not suppressed. Identically zero.

    Why. The one-loop Wilson-line potential is one operator traced twice. Even windings give a graded dimension, odd windings an index:
    \[\Sigma_\lambda=s_\lambda(1,1,t,t^{-1}),\qquad D_\lambda=s_\lambda(1,-1,t,t^{-1}),\]
    and AHMN's \(\{A+B(-1)^{k_2}\}\) is exactly \((\Sigma\pm D)/2\). \(\Sigma\) has non-negative coefficients and can never cancel; \(D\) can. η multiplies \(D\) and nothing else — so η is invisible exactly where \(D_\lambda\equiv 0\).

    Which matter is blind is a parity condition you read off the Young diagram: \(\lambda_1\not\equiv\lambda_2\not\equiv\lambda_3\not\equiv\lambda_4\), or \(\lambda_i+\lambda_{5-i}=c\) odd. Counted in closed form — \(\lceil (k+1)^2/2\rceil\) at \(\lambda_1=2k+1\), none for \(\lambda_1\) even — and machine-checked in Lean 4, sorry-free. A second, disjoint cause: only \(\lfloor (N+1)^2/2\rfloor\) of the \((N+1)^2\) boundary-condition classes of \(SU(N)\) have a coset sector at all, for every \(N\).

    Anchored, not fitted: twelve printed coefficients of arXiv:2312.08608 come out exactly, and two further published potentials follow from the same mode counts.

  8. Just completed my by far most difficult lecture ever with astronomers - get them a sense of the #Higgs mechanism, of the Higgs boson and of the Higgs field in one hour, after a couple of weeks of shallow overview of the Standard Model.
    Not sure how it went, but I prepared for a couple of weeks like for a job interview, and my mind exploded 🤯
    It won't even be in the final exam, but I tried it first time this year.
    Done, exhausting, also because I am not qualified for this.

  10. Physicist @[email protected] of @[email protected], who aided in the #Higgs discovery, cautions that not every anomaly matters. “There’s an infinite number of ways the data can look different,” he says. The challenge is finding a “Goldilocks” balance between noise and real physics. (4/8)

  17. … here is a group of us, probably marking the 10th - 25th people in line, in the morning just before the #Higgs discovery seminar was ready to allow people in for seats. I met some people that night I’d never met before, but whose paths I then crossed for many years after. I also reconnected with some old colleagues in line that night and morning. It was an electric experience.

  19. Happy #Higgsdependence Day! Today is the anniversary of the discovery the Higgs Particle. The discovery was announced July 4, 2012.

    The existence of the Higgs is the sign that fundamental symmetry is broken in nature. Perfect symmetry is not good for a universe like ours. With it, intrinsic mass as we know it cannot exist. Today we celebrate freedom from mathematical symmetry ... a universe made wonderful by its disrespect for sameness.

  21. It seems #physics wanted to find the #Higgs #boson so badly its material existence was imagined into #reality. #Autaxys imagines it's something else entirely: not a "particle" but a detected #pattern, a much simpler explanation: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1574974

  22. !physics Higgs Boson as a Universal Computational Resource Mediator

    In the QRFC framework the Higgs field allocates “computation budget” that keeps reference-frame consistency across scales—offering new angles on the hierarchy problem, dark energy and lab-testable signatures.

    Re-casts the Higgs mechanism as a computational resource allocator and unifies QM with GR predictions.

  27. HIGGS: Новый алгоритм квантования нейросетей

    Давайте разберёмся в том, как работает новый метод квантования больших языковых моделей HIGGS (Hadamard Incoherence with Gaussian MSE-optimal GridS)

  28. #Quarkonium:

    Vermisstes #Elementarteilchen nach 50 Jahren am #Cern entdeckt

    In Daten des großen #Teilchenbeschleunigers am #Cern ist ein neues #Hadron entdeckt worden. Eigentlich hat man #Higgs-Bosonen gesucht.

    Ein #Forschungsteam am #Cern hat in Daten, die von 2016 bis 2018 gesammelt wurden, das letzte noch fehlende #Hadron des #Quarkoniums gefunden. Das sind die gebundenen Zustände eines #Quarks mit seinem #Antiteilchen.

  29. One of the beautiful measures from #cms at #cern. #higgs boson produced together with top antitop quark. Higgs cannot decay into top, being the top much more heavy. So this is the only way to study the coupling between top and higgs.

  30. I am very far from being anti #Science, but after following everything that happens at #CERN from the beginning, I see it as a white elephant and a monumental waste of money.
    The #Higgs #Boson, yeah, OK. Good. Fine.
    The thing is that I KNOW how much more, very productive science could have been done with the money.

  32. The origin of particle masses is tied to interactions with fields, such as the Higgs field, which imparts mass to elementary particles. However, neutrinos present a significant anomaly. Unlike other particles, their tiny masses don’t align neatly with the Standard Model’s predictions. What types of masses neutrinos have—Dirac, Majorana, or something else—remains uncertain. These gaps in our understanding hint at deeper physics beyond the current framework. #ParticleMass #Higgs

  34. @sjsekula This was my audio diary from the day of the announcement of the discovery of the #Higgs particle.

  35. #CERN is the biggest white elephant in the history of #physics.
    Its only achievements have been the discovery of the #Higgs #Boson, which was of value, and the discovery of a few non-fundamental particles that last micro or milliseconds.
    Imagine the real science that could have been done with all that money.

  36. Want to know more about the big challenges in #physics? I contributed the particle physics chapter to EPS Grand Challenges: Physics for Society in the Horizon 2050 - including this fun infographic on the #higgs avalanche we'll get at high-lumi LHC (sadly also with a background landslide). But truly the strength of this book is obviously its wide scope 📘🌈🤓 buff.ly/3vsWCqk

  37. I was wondering why absolutely ZERO pharmacies had #paxlovid the last time I called.

    Not only do we have to pay $1,500 for a 5-day course, but it also has to be special ordered - taking multiple days.

    Thanks #higgs!
