| 1. | Using particle accelerators , scientists are now hunting for the higgs
科学家正试著利用加速器来寻找希格斯粒子。 |
| 2. | That provides researchers with an upper limit for the mass of the higgs boson , which helps focus the search
这个结果提供了希格斯玻色子质量的上限，将有助研究人员寻找希格斯粒子。 |
| 3. | A combination of theoretical reasoning and data from experiments guides us about roughly what masses to expect
理论的推论以及实验的数据，可以帮助我们推敲出希格斯粒子质量大致的落点。 |
| 4. | The discrete part creates the higgs , whereas the continuum parts generate the gauge bosons , such as the w and z particles , which mediate the weak force
整个空间中离散的这一部份产生了希格斯粒子，而连续体那一部份则产生了规范玻色子，例如传递弱力的w粒子与z粒子。 |
| 5. | The higgs is the still missing crowning piece of the so - called standard model ? the theoretical framework that describes subatomic particles and their interactions
在所谓标准模型，也就是描述基本粒子与其交互作用的理论架构中，希格斯粒子是最后一个还没找到的关键元素；按道理，希格斯粒子能赋予其他粒子质量。 |
| 6. | Third , different sets of higgs fields , as occur in the standard model or in the various ssms , imply different sets of higgs bosons with various properties , so tests can distinguish these alternatives , too
第三，不同组的希格斯场（例如出现于标准模型或各种ssm之中）意味著性质相异的不同组希格斯粒子，所以我们可以用实验区分这些不同的可能性。 |
| 7. | Steven weinberg of the university of texas at austin shared a “ nightmare ” that he has : the lhc will uncover the simplest possible variant of the higgs particle and nothing that disagrees with the standard model
德州大学奥斯丁分校的温伯格则跟大家分享了他的一个噩梦： lhc将会发现希格斯粒子最简单的一种变体，没有任何结果和标准模型相?触。 |
| 8. | All that we need to carry out the tests are appropriate particle colliders ? ones that have sufficient energy to produce the different higgs bosons , sufficient intensity to make enough of them and very good detectors to analyze what is produced
我们需要的只是适当的粒子加速器，以便有足够的能量和射束强度来制造种类各异且数量充足的希格斯粒子，再加上优良的侦测器以分析所制造出来的东西，就能从事实验。 |
| 9. | A practical problem with performing such tests is that we do not yet understand the theories well enough to calculate what masses the higgs bosons themselves should have , which makes searching for them more difficult because one must examine a range of masses
从事这种实验所面临的一个实际问题是，我们对于理论的了解还不足，无法计算出希格斯玻色子的质量应该是多少，因此我们必须一一查验在某个?围内的质量，这麽一来，寻找希格斯粒子就变得比较难。 |
