He is the new official spokesperson for the ATLAS experiment, a particle physics experiment at CERN.
So physicists are eagerly seeking more, and two groups working at Fermilab, a particle-physics laboratory near Chicago, think they have found a candidate.
They are known as fermions, after Enrico Fermi, the physicist who built the first nuclear reactor, and who also gave his name to Fermilab, a particle-physics laboratory near Chicago.
ECONOMIST: Particle physics makes sense, but it assumes too much
As is often the case in particle physics, a fuller analysis of data will be required to establish beyond doubt that the particle is a Higgs of any kind.
Fortunately, exceptional mathematical fluency is required in only a few disciplines, such as particle physics, astrophysics and information theory.
And we might be provided with clues that reveal the trail to unraveling the ultimate holy grail of fundamental particle physics -- a quantum theory of gravity.
At E3, the Epic representative breezed through a level editor that looked more like a game itself, changing the properties of items, lighting effects, and particle physics with single clicks, before opening up a screen showing a flow chart of boxes that contained every script running in any given room.
Unlike astronomy or particle physics, paleontology is still a vigorous mixture of acquisitiveness, showmanship, speculation, and polemic.
The Sommerfeld effect, a quantum-mechanical process that makes particles more likely to interact with one another in some circumstances and less likely in others, is mostly ignored in particle physics because it applies only in a limited range of conditions.
ECONOMIST: Two new ways to detect the elusive stuff of the universe
Sadly the first half is a dull and, in places, inadequate history of particle physics.
Readers without a grasp of the so-called standard model in particle physics may well flounder in the chapter on the physics prize.
Particle physics, therefore, risks grinding to a halt for purely pragmatic reasons.
It may be about to happen in particle physics - if neither the Tevatron nor Large Hadron Collider spots a Higgs boson soon, the standard model that scientists have worked with for years may have to be abandoned, or at least seriously reformed, and another built in its place.
In the wacky world of quantum physics, however, it is not always impossible to work out what a particle once was but no longer is.
This was all based on a simple insight: The behavior of the electron was dictated by the wave function rather than particle physics.
The Higgs Prize will give young physics students the chance to win a trip to Cern, where work researching the Higgs particle continues.
The STFC was formed as a new research council in April 2007 through a merger of the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils (CCLRC) and the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PParc).

BBC: The UK retains its involvement in the Eiscat radars for now
Although this might seem a little esoteric, discovery of this baryon provides further proof of the validity of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and helps contribute to our understanding of atomic interactions.
FORBES: Large Hadron Collider Discovers Beautiful New Particle
At at a physics conference in March to discuss the discovery of the Higgs, researchers were encouraged to refer to the particle as the "SM Scalar Boson".
