Nobel predictions: Higgs boson not yet prize-worthy
by Dan Vergano, USA TODAY
The physicists who predicted the existence of the elusive Higgs boson, or so-called God particle, can stop packing for Stockholm, at least this year, says a Nobel science prize prediction report.
Every year, David Pendlebury and his team at Thomson Reuters, the worldwide information-tracking firm, release their predictions for possible Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, physics and medicine. They rarely call the winners exactly but have a good track record in noting scientists who do go on to win the awards a few years later.
In this year’s predictions, “it’s too early for the Higgs boson team,” Pendlebury says, despite the attention paid to the “God particle,” first predicted in the 1960’s… continua su Usa Today
