在本文中，我们在Twitter上，在Twitter上介绍了一项研究，宣布在CERN发现Higgs玻色子样粒子是21世纪科学努力的里程碑之一。宣布发现具有难以捉摸的希格斯玻色子特征的新粒子的宣布。我们报告了个人和全球用户活动中非繁琐的空间周期模式的证据级别，例如推文，重新播放和回复现有的推文，我们为观察到的时间变化的动态提供了可能的解释。发表了与Higgs Boson Discovery相关的推文的个人。
The announcement of the discovery of a Higgs boson-like particle at CERN will be remembered as one of the milestones of the scientific endeavor of the 21 century. In this paper we present a study of information spreading processes on Twitter before, during and after the announcement of the discovery of a new particle with the features of the elusive Higgs boson on 4 July 2012. We report evidence for non-trivial spatio-temporal patterns in user activities at individual and global level, such as tweeting, re-tweeting and replying to existing tweets. We provide a possible explanation for the observed time-varying dynamics of user activities during the spreading of this scientific “gossip”. We model the information spreading in the corresponding network of individuals who posted a tweet related to the Higgs boson discovery. Finally, we show that we are able to reproduce the global behavior of about 500,000 individuals with remarkable accuracy.
