GitHub - GiorgiaLine/Higgs: Blue J IDE was used in order to estimate the mass of the Higgs boson produced in proton-proton collisions in LHC accelerator. Raw data for the 4 muons created in the decay chain was provided in a .csv file which was imported in Java. Obtained estimate of the Higgs mass was confirmed to be around 300 GeV/c2, number being more than twice the actual value due to the fact that simulation data was out of date. Some experimental study was also carried out to confirm various theoretical assumptions about the behaviour of the mass distribution of the products of the proton-proton collisions at √s = 14 TeV.

Blue J IDE was used in order to estimate the mass of the Higgs boson produced in proton-proton collisions in LHC accelerator. Raw data for the 4 muons created in the decay chain was provided in a .csv file which was imported in Java.  Obtained estimate of the Higgs mass was confirmed to be around 300 GeV/c2, number being more than twice the actual value due to the fact that simulation was made a while ago. Some experimental study was also carried out to confirm various theoretical assumptions about the behaviour of the mass distribution of the products of the proton-proton collisions at √s = 14 TeV.
