Opening of Higgs boson – the truth and fiction

The Internet at the end of 2012 - the beginning of 2013 is overflowed a flow of enthusiastic articles about the come true opening of a Higgs boson. Let's give some of their headings:

• • Vesti.Ru: On March 21, 2013 – Research of the Higgs boson opened recently unexpectedly shook idea of physicists of stability of the Universe.

  • Scientists confirmed existence of a Higgs boson...

• Life News: On March 14, 2013 – Experts from Geneva declared that they are sure of opening well-known "particles of God".

  • Новости@mail.ru: Higgs boson was painfully reference.

  • Euro news: Physics NEWS CERN identified Higgs boson.

  • BBC: Physicists of CERN confirm opening of a Higgs boson.

  • RG.RU: Physicists almost caught a particle of God. Scientists received new confirmations that triumph ally opened in the summer of last year on the Large Hadron Collider the new particle, after all is well-known Higgs boson.

  • InfoСМИ.Ru: In CERN are sure: Higgs boson ("Forbes", the USA) is found.

  • NEWSru.com: Long ago stopped "Tevatron" found and in himself Higgs boson - "a divine particle".

  • First channel of News: Higgs boson is really found!

  • RT IN RUSSIAN: Higgs boson is officially registered. At meeting of presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences it was declared that "The divine particle" is officially recognized now. For science it means overcoming paths, of 35 years and the beginning of a new era.

  • Slon.ru: "Higgs boson is open. What further?"

  • News NTV: Physicists of CERN were convinced that opened "a particle of God"

  • ITAR TASS: Higgs boson received an official registration in the Universe.

  • and so on.

And now we will understand that, and whether discovery of a Higgs boson was made and that actually opened on LHC accelerators and Tevatron. One will be farther only the truth, without additions, embellishments, imaginations and representation wished instead of the observable.

When the physics remained science, in it the truth was defined not by opinion of the majority, and experiment. The experiment made on the LHC aimed at searching of a Higgs boson, showed that the new elementary particle weighing about 126 GEV breaking up to two photons is found. And all! Supporters of reference model saw desired Higgs boson (some saw some Higgs bosons) in a new particle and alarmed all planet the statement for its opening. The physicists understanding limitation of reference model, (while their minority) agreed only with opening of a new elementary particle is too achievement of science. So where is truth?

Let's analyses results of experiment from the point of view of nature laws (physics laws). From this that the found new particle breaks up to two photons, the following follows:

• the found particle neutral – a charge conservation law corollary (products of disintegration do not possess electric charge),

• the found particle possesses a spin 0 or 2 – a corollary of a conservation law of a spin (products of disintegration possess a spin equal 1),

• the found particle unstable – a corollary of disintegration by means of which it was registered.

If the found elementary particle possesses a spin equal 2 – that it will be an ordinary vector meson. The group of vector mesons is extremely badly studied by physics, in it only some elementary particles, and physics by it seriously are opened was not engaged.

If the found elementary particle possesses a spin equal 0, optional versions:

• Supporters of reference model claim that found Higgs boson – "the last missing link of reference model". – Here they from "modesty" keep back: quarks and gluons are not found in the nature still. Besides the reference model entered the weak coupling, which existence in the nature - is not proved and is mere allegation of reference model. So that the statement that reference model is achievement of science, is not true.

• The field theory of the elementary particles which is not recognized by supporters of reference model claims that opened an excited state with a zero spin of one of vector mesons. The matter is that all elementary particles with a quantum number of L>0 possess excited states according to quantization rules of a quantum number of V. The part of excited states of the elementary particles is already found in experiment, for example a tau-lepton (the excited state of a muon recognized as reference model for a separate elementary particle), excited states of mesons and the baryons, all resonances. From excited states of vector mesons an excited state of D * - a vector meson is experimentally found. Lack of interest to vector mesons affects from the majority of physicists. Lack of interest to vector mesons affects from the majority of physicists. Besides, the field theory of the elementary particles claims that after the substantial increase of accuracy, resolving power of detectors, range of energies recorded by particle detectors (not only towards high energies) on accelerators the new elementary particles, invisible will be open by reference model.

Let's assume for a while that supporters of reference model are right and Higgs boson was open really. As it created on accelerators (the LHC and Tevatron), we know but as it can be created in the nature now. On stars it is excluded, the maximal energy emitted at thermonuclear fusion is equal 18.77 MEV, and 126 GEV – in 6700 are required times more, than is available. Other natural sources of a Higgs boson of the physicist cannot offer, except certainly сказочек about black holes. – So: for life time of the Universe all earlier created Higgs bosons broke up, and reasonable entities can enter the into the nature them on accelerators type of LHC in microscopic quantities. Question: then why weight in the Universe did not disappear? The answer is obvious: because found on the LHC and Tevatron the new elementary particle cannot create weight at other elementary particles in the nature is not Higgs boson.

Now there is some "theory". At first the small quote from Wikipedia:

"Higgs field — a field called in honor of English physicist Peter Higgs, is providing spontaneous violation of symmetry of electroweak couplings thanks to violation of symmetry of vacuum. Quantum of this field — is a Higgs particle (a Higgs boson).

Existence of a Higgs field is an integral part of Reference model (Weinberg's — Salam theory), united weak and electromagnetic interactions. By means of this field existence of weight of particles carriers of a weak coupling (W-and Z-bosons) and lack of weight at a particle carrier of an electromagnetic interaction (photon)" speaks.

And now as affairs actually are:

• The weak coupling was postulated by a quantum theory – but its existence in the nature was not proved. Behind this interaction there are no physical fields. Simply speaking: the weak coupling was invented.

• In the nature there is not an electromagnetic interaction, and electromagnetic interactions and these are different concepts. Electromagnetic interactions include interactions of electric and magnetic fields, both constants, and variables, in full accordance with electromagnetism laws. And simulated separation of a separate component from interactions is mathematical manipulation over nature laws.

• Thus, electroweak couplings in the nature are not present – there is nothing there is nothing to unite.

• In the nature there is no electroweak symmetry also: the symmetry between a photon and other vector mesons with a spin 1 does not exist by definition are elementary particles of different groups. At them spin size only coincides no more. And the photon is the single elementary particle possessing only mass of driving (at a photon because of the absence of constant electric and magnetic water, the size of a rest-mass is always equal to zero).

• W-and Z-bosons are not carriers of a weak coupling not existing in the nature are ordinary vector mesons.

• The photon is not a carrier of artificially isolated electromagnetic interaction is a elementary particle.

• It is natural that the physics does not possess direct proofs of existence in the nature of a Higgs field.

I hope it is well visible as us try to mislead and, being covered with visibility of science, to convince of existence of a Higgs field.

It is possible to consider similarly and "Higgs mechanism" and to be convinced that there is no spontaneous violation of an electroweak symmetry not existing in the nature as is not present in the nature and gage bosons (and there are simply elementary particles with an integral spin). And let you are not confused by Higgs potential is only mathematician, and no more. It is worth to remember that the physics established existence in the nature only two types of fields and the related fundamental interactions: gravitational and electromagnetic, and all other fields and interactions exist in other world, but about it later.

Let's consider an ordinary elementary particle – an electron. According to a classical electrodynamics and Einstein's formula, the weight concluded in a constant electric field of an electron, a constant magnetic field and a variation electromagnetic field is equal:

Where m₀ - is the size of a rest-mass of the elementary particle, E - is the strength of its electric field in a point of integration, H - is the strength of its magnetic field in a point of integration, dv - is the partial volume of integration, and a definite integral undertakes on all field.

And as you can see, hear any Higgs boson is not present. Hypothetical Higgs boson cannot create electric and magnetic fields of other elementary particles. Electronic mass is created by its electromagnetic fields according to a classical electrodynamics and Higgs boson is for this purpose absolutely not necessary.

It is possible to consider similarly other elementary particles, for example a proton or a neutron. For a proton the result will turn out similar to an electron, and for a neutron it should be noted that the reference model cannot see an electric field of a neutron. As you can see, the nature can do and without Higgs boson.

But there is one more world: the virtual, created by reference model in which the elementary particles consist of the quarks not found in the nature fastened by gluons not found in the nature. In this world there are fundamental interactions created by reference model and its laws work. For this world Higgs boson together with Higgs field and Higgs mechanism is fine addition to other fantastic characters. But this world exists not in the nature, but only in mathematician.

So, there is that the routine elementary particle is open. In a nomenclature of the field theory of the elementary particles: opened an excited state of one of vector mesons. The number of vector mesons in the nature is not limited, and each of them (from all excited states) possesses one excited state with the zero spin which is breaking up to two photons (γγ) or electronic couples (e⁺e^-), 2 (e⁺e^-), muonic couples (µ⁺µ^-), 2 (µ⁺µ^-), pion couples (π⁺π^-), (2π⁰) and (3π⁰) and their combinations, etc. – But it not Higgs bosons.

You got acquainted simply with the truth. It not such effective, as a truth mix with fiction which can examine in articles specified at the beginning.

• The part from them (invited for the comment of the expert) is truthful and is not prejudiced.

• The majority was limited to ascertaining of the experimental fact (in the introduction) with the subsequent citing of unproved statements of reference model, issuing them for the highest achievement of science. As a result the trace amount of the truth (at the beginning of article) diluted with a large number of mathematical fairy tales of reference model turned article into fiction.

It is impossible to believe blindly to that is published today in scientific editions – and there mathematical fairy tales under the guise of the modern "physical theories" got. But if to be objective, work proofs in the nature of the Higgs mechanism both were not earlier, and is not present now, after the made discovery of a new elementary particle on the LHC and Tevatron. In physics – science the truth is defined not by opinion of the majority, and experiment.
