Discovering the Higgs is important, no question.

毫无疑问，发现希格斯介子是非常重要的。

Traces left by the Higgs are unlikely to be as clear-cut.

希格斯留下的踪迹是不可能被认为清晰的。

One thing we know for sure — it is not the Higgs boson.

只有一件事我们相当确定——一定没有希格斯玻色子。

In the maths of supersymmetry, the Higgs emerges quite naturally.

在超对称的数学模型中，希格斯粒子的出现是自然而然的。

And high energies are needed because the Higgs is thought to be quite heavy.

之所以需要高能量是因为希格斯粒子被认为非常重。

However, it could be that the Higgs just behaves differently than expected.

然而，玻色子可能与期望中运转形式不同。

Or the bump could be from some unexpected new particle rather than the Higgs.

或者可能发生爆炸，但是来源于新的未发现粒子的能量而不是靠玻色子本身的能量。

Mr Tonelli stressed that the search for the Higgs boson formed only one part of their work.

Tonelli 强调希格斯玻色子的研究工作只是他们工作的一部分。

With the Higgs likely to emerge in the next few years, speculation over who to credit is rife.

随着希格斯粒子可能在未来几年内出现，对于谁会获得荣誉的推测正在流传。

It may be just as well, because the LHC is not the only smasher looking for hints of the Higgs.

不只如此，因为大型强子对撞机不是寻找西格雷粒子踪影的唯一对撞机。

The Higgs singlet is related to another particle which is also yet to be found, the Higgs boson.

和希格斯单线态粒子相关的另一种粒子——希格斯玻色子，同样尚未被发现。

If they do discover the Higgs, it would be a triumph for the Standard Model, making it a complete theory.

如果他们确实发现了希格斯粒子，这将是标准模型的胜利，使之成为一个完整的理论。

However, we do not know the mass of the Higgs boson itself, which makes it more difficult to identify.

但是，我们并不知道希格斯玻色子自身的质量，这使得识别它的难度大大增加。

The hunt for the Higgs particle is well ahead of schedule, say researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

对希格斯粒子的搜寻进度好于预期，大型强子对撞机(LHC)的研究员们称。

We have other hints about the Higgs; for example, if it exists, it plays a role in "unifying" different forces.

我们还有希格斯粒子的其他线索。举例来说，如果它存在，那么它在“统一”不同种类的力之中(译者注，大一统理论)也有作用。

Finding it would virtually guarantee the discoverer a Nobel prize-shared jointly, no doubt, with Dr Higgs.

发现玻色子的无疑会和Higgs博士同享诺贝尔奖。

Yet the easiest way to sell it to politicians was to frame it as a search for a single particle, the Higgs boson.

当然将这个项目推销给政客的捷径是把它包装成为研究单一粒子的项目，希格斯玻色子。

But if the Higgs has the properties predicted by the standard model, that bump should be much too small to see.

但是如果玻色子具有标准模型含有的属性，效应应该很小不易看到。

In fact, proving the Higgs particle does not exist would be scientifically every bit as valuable as proving it does.

事实上，证明希格斯粒子不存在，和证明它存在，在科学上都同样非常有价值。

Physicists have dreamed up many ways to extend the standard model that would modify the properties of the Higgs.

物理学家设想了许多方法延伸标准模型，期望可以限定玻色子的属性。

Even the mighty Higgs cannot explain those mysteries - though through telescopes and observation, we know they exist.

虽然作用巨大的希格斯粒子不能揭开这些谜团，通过天文望远镜的观察，我们仍能感觉到它们的存在。

The field prevails throughout the cosmos: any particles that interact with it are given a mass via the Higgs boson.

这个场普遍存在于整个宇宙：任何粒子相互作用都通过希格斯玻色子赋予了一定的质量。

The Higgs is a crucial missing piece in the Standard Model, the most widely accepted framework for particle physics.

西格雷粒子是标准模型缺失的一个重要部分，而标准模型是粒子物理学界广泛认可的结构框架。

The Higgs boson is a hypothesised particle which, if it exists, would give the mechanism by which particles acquire mass.

希格斯玻色子是一个假说中的粒子。如果它存在，我们就知道了赋予粒子以质量的物理机制。

Finding a Higgs-like signal among the daughters is therefore not, by itself, enough to say you have discovered the Higgs.

因此，单单是在子粒子中找到一个类希格斯的踪迹，并不能说你已经发现了希格斯粒子。
