Unusual new Higgs particles might clarify surprising W boson consequence
Concepts from past the usual mannequin of particle physics, together with technicolor and glueball Higgs particles, might clarify the current shock discovering that the W boson is heavier than we thought

On 7 April, researchers introduced outcomes from the now-defunct Tevatron collider in Illinois discovering that the mass of the W boson is increased than the usual mannequin of particle physics predicts – an incredibly stable measurement that might demand new physics. Concepts to clarify it have already begun flowing in earnest.
The W boson is among the particles that carries the weak nuclear drive in the identical method that a photon carries electromagnetic drive. …
