Higgs boson research, ATLAS detector C013 / 6891
Higgs boson research. 3D computer graphic showing one of the numerous particle collision events recorded during the search for the Higgs boson. This event (a proton-proton collision) was recorded with the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) detector on 10 June 2012. The collision (centre left) produced two muon pairs (red tracks). The inset at right shows a transverse section through the tracking detector. The inset at upper left shows the vertex region of the collision. 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking Higgs boson research conducted at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory. The image is a stunning 3D computer graphic that depicts one of the countless particle collision events recorded during the search for this elusive subatomic particle. Taken on June 10th, 2012, by the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) detector, this particular proton-proton collision resulted in two muon pairs, represented by striking red tracks at the center left of the image. The inset at right provides a transverse section through the tracking detector, offering a glimpse into its intricate structure and design. Meanwhile, an inset at upper left zooms in on the vertex region of this collision event, revealing more details about its decay products. In line with the Standard Model of particle physics, which explains why particles possess mass, scientists have long sought to discover and understand the Higgs boson. Finally achieving their goal after years of tireless research and experimentation, CERN announced their momentous discovery on July 4th, 2012. This significant breakthrough has revolutionized our understanding of fundamental particles and further unraveled the mysteries surrounding matter's structure. As we delve deeper into exploring these microscopic realms using cutting-edge technology like large hadron colliders such as ATLAS detector within Geneva's scientific hub in Switzerland; we continue to push boundaries and expand our knowledge of nature's building blocks.
