#OnThisDay twelve years ago, two experiments at CERN announced the existence of a particle with characteristics consistent with those of the #HiggsBoson. Named after the late theoretical physicist Peter Higgs, its discovery crowned the #StandardModel of particle physics. In 2013, the @NobelPrize for Physics was awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for their 1964 proposal of the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism. To mark 60 years since Peter Higgs published his now famous paper predicting the existence of the boson named after him, here we see 60 event displays from @ATLASexperiment and @CMSExperiment, showing collisions where a Higgs boson is produced and then decays into various particles. #FunFact: in the audio, you can hear Peter Higgs speak about the discovery in his own words. Find out more about the #Higgsboson home.cern/science/physics/hi…

It was amazing to be able to present some research from my PhD, in collaboration with @SpinVector, from @UEA_Chemistry @UEAPhysics in the Mathematical physics session of #BAMC2024. So great to be able to attend. More details can be found at the-jones-group.co.uk

Just stunning!
#NASAWebb released 19 high-res images of nearby face-on spiral galaxies in near- and mid-infrared light, revealing spiral arms brimming with stars—and red orbs where still-forming stars are encased in gas and dust. Examine them all: webbtelescope.pub/3SxNSaU

And while you are at it, why not also take a look at our recent preprint on monopoles and Alice rings in spin-2 BECs? More excellent work by @JosephBaio from @UEAPhysics. arxiv.org/abs/2401.04103
Exciting new work published with Matt Wheeler and @SpinVector @UEAPhysics + colleagues @LancUniPhysics @AmherstCollege. Thanks to @EPSRC for the support
