Physical, assumed a new boson: it is called Madala and interacts with dark matter – The Daily

Not only that of the Higgs boson and not just X. A new particle has been hypothesised by a team of South African physical of ‘ High Energy Physics Group (HEP) Johannesburg . It was renamed “Higgs Madala” , and would have a special different specification from its most famous (for now) predecessor, the discovery of which had been awarded the Nobel Prize in 2013 . If the Higgs has a facility to give mass to all that surrounds it, in fact it, Madala instead is able to interact with the elusive Dark Matter , which permeates about a quarter of the entire universe.

the confirmation of the extraordinary search result, explains the website of ‘ Asi (the Italian space Agency), comes after weeks of announcements and denials. But now everything seems more certain: the South African physicists claim to have found evidence to their initial hypothesis of research after analyzing the data produced by the collisions between particles , at speeds close to those forces of light, in superacceleratore LHC CERN in Geneva . Once again, therefore, the absolute protagonist is the “track” 27 kilometers to 100 meters depth along the border between France and Switzerland.

“The hypothesis of the Higgs Madala was formulated by our group, collaboration with scientists in India and Sweden, on the basis of a series of features and characteristics of the data received from the LHC experiments, “says Bruce Mellado , the South African group team leader.

the hunt for dark matter , in any case, continues. At this time, he explains the ASI, it is as if scientists were in a dark room with a lighted torch that illuminates only a corner. The rest of the room is there, around them, but still can not see how it is done. “Physics – Mellado concludes today – is at a crossroads, like to Einstein’s time and the fathers of quantum mechanics, when the classical physics had failed in an attempt to explain a range of phenomena, and it became necessary to revolutionize with new concepts, such as relativity and quantum mechanics. ” Something similar, according to the scientist, could happen today to Standard Model , the building upon which our present-day understanding of the physical world. But from which, however, they are still excluded several phenomena, starting from dark matter.

A little less than a month ago instead another announcement had handled the physical world. The hypothesis of a fifth force , in addition to the four fundamental forces already known that structure the universe, it would be “mediated” by a new particle mediator , never encountered before, and renamed for this “ boson X .” The latter as Madala – Researchers at the ‘ University of California – Irvine , could also serve to know the origin of the “ Dark Matter .”
