Observation of Bosons at Hadron Colliders

Caption

In the last 15 years, the CDF and DZero experiments at Fermilab have discovered increasingly rare combinations of the electroweak force carriers -- gamma, W and Z -- emerging from proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron. With the Tevatron producing a record number of particle collisions, the CDF and DZero experiments might be able to catch a glimpse of the Higgs particle. The uncertainty in the predicted cross section for the Higgs boson reflects the range of Higgs masses not yet excluded by experiment.
