论文摘要
2012年，Atlas和CMS合作发现了Higgs Boson的发现，总结了粒子物理史上最长的对粒子的搜索，并基于有史以来最大，最复杂的物理实验，涉及来自世界各地的成千上万的科学家和工程师。它为1960年代开发的理论提供了关键的证据，该理论描述了隐形的球拍 - 恩格尔特·希格斯（Englert-Higgs）领域的存在以及该领域对基本颗粒质量的影响。发现后，关于理论预测的工作被授予2013年诺贝尔物理奖。这一发现提供了现代科学的主要例子，也是讨论课堂上科学（NOS）重要方面的绝佳机会。在本文中，我们在发现Higgs Boson，b）NOS的重要方面和C）具有神秘盒子的动手活动的过程中建立了a）里程碑之间的联系，这是使学生能够体验科学发现的元素并明确反思NOS的有效工具。我们希望这支持教育工作者将有关现代物理研究的生动讨论带入他们的课堂。
The discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in 2012 concluded the longest search for a particle in the history of particle physics and was based on the largest and most complex physics experiments ever conducted, involving thousands of scientists and engineers from around the world. It provided crucial evidence for a theory developed in the 1960s that describes the existence of the invisible Brout-Englert-Higgs field and the effects of this field on the mass of elementary particles. After the discovery, the work on the theoretical prediction was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013. This discovery provides a prime example of modern science in the making and a fantastic opportunity to discuss important aspects of Nature of Science (NoS) in the classroom. In this article, we draw connections between a) milestones in the discovery of the Higgs boson, b) important aspects of NoS, and c) hands-on activities with mystery boxes, which are an effective tool to enable students to experience elements of scientific discovery and explicitly reflect on NoS. We hope that this supports educators in bringing lively discussions about modern physics research into their classrooms.
