第一种过程为希格斯玻色子衰变为一对缪子，平均每5000次希格斯衰变仅发生一次。但它为研究希格斯 场与第二代费米子（缪子和中微子）的耦合提供了关键窗口，有助于揭示这些粒子的质量来源。此前， 科学家仅确认了希格斯玻色子与第三代粒子（如陶子）之间的相互作用。 第二种过程是希格斯玻色子衰变为Z玻色子和光子，其中Z玻色子会进一步衰变为电子或缪子对，该衰 变机制涉及由虚粒子构成的中间"环"。若存在未知的新粒子参与该过程，便可能揭示超越粒子物理标准 模型的新物理。 此前，ATLAS合作组观测到希格斯玻色子衰变为缪子对的初步迹象，显著性为2个标准差。如今， ATLAS合作组将该过程的证据显著性提高至3.4个标准差，即随机误差概率低于三千分之一。他们对希 格斯玻色子衰变为Z玻色子和光子的过程，也给出了迄今最严格的灵敏度上限。（记者刘霞） 欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）超环面仪器实验（ATLAS）合作组宣布，他们发现了希格斯玻色子衰变为 缪子对的新证据，比之前的观测结果显著性更强。这种罕见的现象，有助于科学家更深入地理解粒子如 何获得质量。 研究团队表示，他们还在探测另一种更罕见的衰变过程——希格斯玻色子衰变为Z玻色子和光子方面取 ...
