4 days ago · Robert Oppenheimer showed in 1930 that higher-order perturbative calculations in QED always resulted in infinite quantities, such as the electron self-energy and the vacuum zero-point energy of the electron and photon fields, [6] suggesting that the computational methods at the time could not properly deal with interactions involving photons ...
Jul 20, 2024 · In these, gluons that bind quarks together confer most of the particle mass. The result is obtained independently by three groups: François Englert and Robert Brout; Peter Higgs, working from the ideas of Philip Anderson; and Gerald Guralnik, C. R. Hagen, and Tom Kibble.
Jul 23, 2024 · (Robert Brout, who had been co-author on Englert’s 1964 paper in Physical Review Letters (13 321) predicting what we now called the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism, had died in 2011.) Right up to the last minute, we didn’t know if we’d be making a discovery announcement, or just saying “Watch this space.”
Aug 7, 2024 · The Standard Model of particle physics, a robust theoretical framework describing the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear interactions, had a glaring omission: it could not explain why particles had mass. In 1964, three independent groups of physicists, including Peter Higgs, François Englert, and Robert Brout, proposed a solution.
Jul 25, 2024 · Its discovery at CERN in 2012 was the crowning achievement of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics – a remarkable theory which explains the visible universe at the most fundamental level.Alongside Robert Brout and François Englert, and building on the work of a generation of physicists, Higgs postulated the existence of the Brout ...

2 days ago · Robert I (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce (Scottish Gaelic: Raibeart am Brusach), was King of Scots from 1306 to his death in 1329. [1] Robert led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England.
