CERN physicists discover the GOD Particle
In the field of Physics a quantum jump was made as the scientists at the Switzerland’s CERN research centre near
Geneva discovered a sub-atomic particle ‘Higgs boson’, prevalently known as the “God particle”, conceived to be an
essential building block that contributed to the shaping of the universe. A declaration to this effect was made by the
CERN’s Scientists.
The subtle particle is conceived to have been responsible for imparting mass to the particles that finally formed the
stars and the planets after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago.
The breakthrough of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson is probable to elucidate other secrets of our Universe.
The particle was conjectured in 1964 by six physicists, including Briton Peter Higgs, from whose name the word ‘Higgs’
has been taken. The word ‘Boson’ has been taken from the surname of the famous Indian physicist, Satyendra Nath
Bose, a contemporaneous of Albert Einstein.
Indian Scientists also contributed to the discovery
A lot of Indian scientists, representing the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, Tata Institute of Fundamental
Research, Mumbai, Harishchandra Research Institute, Allahabad and Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, were involved
in the experiment.
 CERN Director: General Rolf Heuer
 Higgs Boson named after: Briton Peter Higgs and Indian Scientist Satyendra Nath Bose

Scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on 4 July 2012, discovered a new sub-atomic particle called Higgs Boson or God’s Particle. The new discovery is being considered as a gateway to a new era in understanding the universe's great mysteries including dark matter.

Scientists had predicted the existence of Higgs Boson, which is also referred to as God’s Particle, in 1964. The particle was named Higgs Boson after Peter Higgs and Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose. Peter Higgs was one of six authors who wrote the revolutionary papers covering what is now known as the Higgs mechanism and described the related Higgs field and boson.

The term God particle was first used by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman. The term is now a more popular term for Higgs Boson which explains how the subatomic universe works and got started.

Europe’s most recent spacecraft to track weather in orbit

The most recent spacecraft in Europe’s long-running Meteosat series has moved into orbit on an Ariane rocket. The
spacecraft being guided into a position about 36,000 kms above the Earth from where it can keep an unceasing eye on
developing weather systems.
Since 1977, this spacecraft is the 10th Meteosat platform to go into service.
Its images will shortly be feeding into the daily forecasts furnished to the public by national meteorological agencies
throughout Europe. It is anticipated to publish the first image on August 6, 2012.

European aerospace Airbus on 2 July 2012 announced to build its first US assembly Plant in Alabama to compete with Boeing. The Alabama plant costs around 600 million dollar. It will employ around 1000 people and likely to be complete till 2017.

Previously, Airbus had planned to manufacture refueling tankers for the U.S. Air Force in Alabama. But its parent company, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. had lost the contract to Boeing in 2011. Boeing is already present in Alabama and its employing 2700 people in defense and rocket operations.

Airbus appears to increase its A320 production while Boeing is producing its 737. Airbus A320 directly competes with Boeing 737. Both companies are placing new, more fuel-efficient engines on the planes to extend their request as airlines try to cut fuel costs. Airbus had the facility in Mobile to design and install the interior items like seats and cabin equipment for its big planes, this facility would likely employ around 230 people.

Europe’s ATV space truck blast off from French Guiana
Europe’s Ariane Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) space truck blasted off from French Guiana and is
heading towards the ISS (International Space Station) with new supplies of food, water, air, and fuel
blasted. It is carrying experiments and spares for the high-flying astronaut outpost. At 20 tonnes, the ATV
is the biggest ship servicing the station now that the US shuttles have all been withdrawn from service. The
cargo vessel is scheduled to dock with the ISS on Wednesday March 28, 2012 and will remain attached to it
until August, 2012.
