Sumario:Although not produced in an observable way,heavy parti- cles like the top quark and the Higgs particle can make their presence felt at LEP.This is due to one of the more curious features of quantum physics.Particles can appear from the quantum vacuum for an imperceptibly short length of time before disappearing back into the vacuum again,and these quantum fluctuations leave their traces in the 'real 'world.
