Scientists have simulated the sounds set to be made by sub-atomic particles such as the Higgs boson when they are produced at the Large Hadron Collider.The article includes sounds of the Higgs boson as modelled by the scientists, one emerging and decaying, and that of the harmonic signatures as well. There is also a diagramme that helps explain where the Higgs boson fits among other particles such as electrons, neutrinos, protons, muons, and quarks. Be sure to check it out.
Their aim is to develop a means for physicists at Cern to "listen to the data" and pick out the Higgs particle if and when they finally detect it.
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.
