The LHC experiment

Whether the elementary-particle Physics theory exposed in the book
"The Genesis of mass" is aesthetically appealing or not is a matter of taste. Nonetheless, it might be physically irrelevant if experiments prove that is it not correct. Even though there might be already inconclusive evidence for the existence of katoptrons, the first experiment that will test the theory will be performed in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

LHC
This begun its regular operation around Summer 2010. First collisions at relatively low energies were initially recorded on Nov. 23, 2009.

On Jul. 4, 2012, the discovery of a new boson with a mass of around 125 GeV was announced at CERN. This constitutes a clear scientific triumph, since such a boson is in principle needed for the theoretical completion of the Standard Model of Elementary Particle Physics. The study of its properties opens a new exciting era of research. Is it possible that this boson is a composite state of two katoptrons?  Even though we will try to keep you updated regarding any developments on the experimental front, we refer you to the LHC site for you to have a first-hand opinion.
