Reports the failure of physicists to find evidence of Higgs bosons in Geneva, Switzerland. Analysis of data from Large Electron Positron Collider at a nuclear laboratory; Importance of Higgs bosons for understanding of matter; Creation of standard model of the particle.

Reports on the decision of CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, to dismantle the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP). How the LEP will be replaced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC); How researchers were searching for the Higgs boson, the particle thought to give all other particles their mass; Competition to find the Higgs with Fermilab.

The article offers an introduction to a report within the issue on research in the Higgs boson particle, including proposals for an electron-based particle collider to build upon the Higgs research at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The article focuses on research into the Higgs Boson, mentioning that results from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's Tevatron collider in Batavia, Illinois show that the Higgs boson decays into a pair of bottom quarks, which boosts the standard model status for the Higgs.

The article discusses the search for the existence of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, noting that evidence of the boson must be interpreted from data collected at the laboratory by studying its decay products such as Z bosons and quarks.

The article discusses research on neutrinos which can travel faster than the speed of light which will be conducted at the U.S. Fermi National Laboratory (Fermilab). Fermilab will no longer conduct research on the Higgs boson following the closure of the Tevatron particle accelerator, but is developing the International Linear Collider. Fermilab's Nova experiment will examine oscillation in neutrinos and research will be done on neutrinos which can travel father than the speed of light.

The article reports on research which is being conducted at the Large Haldron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland by a team of researchers led by Ian Shipsey of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The research is being conducted in an effort to discover evidence of a particle called the Higgs boson. Similar research which is being discussed at the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois is discussed.

The article reports on the chance of the Tevatron collider near Chicago, Illinois to find the Higgs boson first as the Large Hadron Collider is still undergoing repairs. It is noted that the Tevatron has been gaining ground in the search for the Higgs. According to Tevatron physicists, they will have recorded enough data by early 2011 to allow them to either find or rule out the Higgs as predicted by the standard model.
