Higgs boson research. Graphic of a longitudinal section through a detector showing a collision event recorded during the search for the Higgs boson. This event (a proton-proton collision) was recorded with the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector in 2012. It shows characteristics expected of the decay of the Standard Model's Higgs boson to a pair of photons (dashed yellow lines and green towers). In the Standard Model,the Higgs boson is used to explain why particles have mass. CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) announced the Higgs boson discovery on 4 July 2012 | |
