The main process which led to its discovery is its decay into 2 photons: ℎ → γ + γ
This process is occurs at “loop level” mediated by the top and bottom quarks 𝑡 & 𝑏 The higgs lifetime is 1.56×10⁻²² s
Then that leads to …
###1. Smash Proton LHC smashs protons toghether when two protons collide, itmake a lot of constituent quarks q and gluons G
G then decays into pairs of top,anti top aka tt ###2. Higgs Produciton These t̅t coming from the Gluon decay, can then interact with one another Right pointing backhand indexThese t̅t can then “annihilate” to produce a higgs particle.
###3. Higgs decay Higgs lives 1.56 *10^-22 tt channel dies two photons exist3
QUED very staright forward
