Here’s What the Higgs Boson Sounds Like

“The Higgs…was discovered due to a data anomaly. And now, that data set — and that anomaly — have been set to music. Or, more precisely, music has emerged from that data set and that anomaly. 

That music being, precisely, an upbeat melody that resembles the habanera, a tango-like Cuban dance. 

The researcher Domenico Vicinanza, product manager at DANTE and both a musician and an engineer, led the Higgs sonification project — collaborating with Mariapaola Sorrentino of the ASTRA Project and Giuseppe La Rocca of Catania’s INFN, who spearheaded the effort’s computing framework. “
