Abstract
Following the discovery of Higgs Bosons (H) with a mass of around 126 GeV/c2, it is hypothesized in this study that the gauge bosons, which are theoretically predicted to be gravitons in the mass interaction, may be produced by H, just as photons are produced in the case of electromagnetic (EM) interaction. Although the hypothesis is extremely difficult to prove experimentally in gravitation mechanism, from the parallel estimation of “quantum efficiencies” of virtual gravitons produced by virtual H annihilation in gravitation and virtual photons produced by virtual electron-positron annihilation in EM interaction, due to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle (HUP), we evaluate that the relative ratio of photon to graviton intensities is in the order of 1036 which is in agreement with the relative strength between EM and gravitational interactions predicted in Quantum Field Theory (QFT).
