Consider a proton that is incident on a target proton (at rest). What is the threshold energy needed to produce a Higg's Boson. Use the following estimates of the masses: mp = 1 [GeV] and my 125 [GeV]. The Higgs boson will eventually decay into leptons and protons (a particle physicist will tell you that the Higgs bos m will decay through different channels). The threshold energy is the minimum energy needed for all these processes (channels) to be observed as confirmed in 2012 at the Large Ha tron Collider (LHC).

Nuclear interactions

In nature, there are certain rules and standards for an interaction. These interactions are universally accepted. There are four types of interactions:
