(Newswire.net — November 10, 2014) — More than 10,000 scientists have worked for decades on the £6 billion search for the particle and announced that it had been found in 2013. A discovery of the new particle found by Danish scientists, however, is forcing scientists to rewrite the laws of physics.
According to a team of Danish physicists, led by young post doctorate Mads Toudal Frandsen of the University of Southern Denmark, a new particle detected in Large Hadron Collider is not Higgs Boson, but very similar particle, so they name it a Techni-Higgs.
The discovery, although not yet confirmed, could help to explain the origin of the ‘dark matter’ detected in distant galaxies by our telescopes.
Peter Higgs, 84 year old Scottish physicist, first theorized the particle, then gained recognition for his life work by experiments in the Cern Collider in 2013. The discovery confirmed the existence of the smallest element from which all other elements are created – the God’s Particle.
Mads Toudal Frandsen, hovewer claims that, although the Higgs particle can explain the data, there can be other explanations as well.
LHC researchers do not debunk the possibility that CERN has discovered the Higgs particle, but it is equally possible that it is a different kind of particle, they say.
Professor Frandsen believe that the Higgs Boson may be a so-called Techni-Higgs particle, which is not the elementary particle, but is made of Techni-quarks – held together by an unknown force. Techni-quarks may form a Techni-Higgs, however, under other circumstances can form the Dark Matter, Frandsen says.
The Techni-Higgs particle and Higgs particle can easily be confused in experiments, though they are two very different particles belonging to two very different theories of how the universe was created.
If true, the techni-higgs would offer an explanation for dark matter, but not before 2015 when researchers plane to reactivate the collider in order to prove the theory.
