What, no Higgs?
Carl Hagen has recently
joined in the discussion as to whether the Higgs Boson should be
renamed in order to acknowledge the contributions of the co-workers. It may
also be apposite to note that a maximum of three (living) individuals can be
named as joint winners of a Nobel Prize. Six theorists are connected with
developing the theory of the Higgs with five still living. Professor Hagen, one
of this group, suggests that it be called the Standard Model Scalar Meson, or
SM Squared. I personally like the suggestion to name it: The Particle (formerly
known as Higgs).
