New ATLAS Analysis Reveals Strong Evidence of Higgs Boson Decay Into Muon-Antimuon Pair Higgs Boson Research Advances With New 3.4 σ Findings Evidence Builds at CERN's Large Hadron Collider Although theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was only confirmed in 2012 at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Since that landmark discovery, scientists have continued to scrutinize it at the LHC. A new analysis from CERN researchers now brings together data from the last two runs of ATLAS — one of the LHC's main detectors — to present evidence that the Higgs boson can decay into a muon-antimuon pair. Published in Physical Review Letters, the study reports a combined significance of 3.4 standard deviations above background noise, surpassing the previous 3.0 standard-deviation result from CMS. The Higgs Mechanism and Particle Mass Understanding Mass Through Higgs Field Interactions Physicists have strong motivation for pursuing this specific Higgs boson decay. In the peculiar realm o...
