希格斯玻色子（Higgs Boson）有一个新朋友

Two experiments — the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) and A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS) — observed a decay that revealed that the Higgs "couples" extremely strongly with the superheavy top quark, suggesting a close affinity between the particles. That result lines up with what physicists had predicted.

The new measurements "give a strong indication that the Higgs boson has a key role in the large value of the top quark's mass. While this is certainly a key feature of the Standard Model, this is the first time it has been verified experimentally with overwhelming significance," Karl Jakobs, a spokesperson for the LHC's ATLAS collaboration, said in the statement.

The new results were published today (June 4) in the journal Physical Review Letters.
