Higgs Decay to Two Bottom Quarks (IMAGE) Princeton University Caption In experiments conducted at the Large Hadron Collider, a team including Princeton University researchers has identified a long-sought pathway by which the Higgs boson decays into two other particles, known as bottom quarks. The Higgs boson is produced with another particle called a Z boson. The Higgs boson decays to bottom quark jets (shown in blue), and the Z boson then decays into an electron and a positron (shown in red).
