Physicists working at the Cern laboratory in Geneva say they've found signs of the hypothetical subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson. Proof of its existence is considered crucial to supporting the standard model of physics, which explains how particles interact with each other to produce the universe as we currently understand it. However, the scientists say they'll have to carry out more work over the next few months in the hope of obtaining conclusive evidence. Cern's director general Rolf-Dieter Heuer said the findings were good news for science.
日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心(Cern)的物理学家称,已发现有迹象显示,存在一种假设存在的亚原子,名为希格斯玻色子。其存在的证据被视为支撑标准物理模型的关键,解释了粒子间如何相互作用,生成我们现在所知的宇宙。然而,科学家表示,未来数月还必须继续研究,希望得到决定性证据。Cern局长Rolf-Dieter Heuer称这些发现对科学来说是好消息。
"My feeling about the achievement is excellent because I think we have achieved much more than we would have expected at the beginning of this year, and therefore, I think this was a fantastic scientific year for basic science."
“我认为这个发现相当棒,我想我们比年初预计的实现的更多,因此,我想今年对基础科学来说,是神奇的科学年。”
