Higgs boson research, ATLAS detector C013 / 6893
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 18 June 2012. The collision (centre left) produced a muon pair (red tracks) and an electron pair (green tracks and calorimeter towers). The insets are a transverse section through the tracking detector (upper right) and the vertex region of the collision (lower right). 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 3D computer graphic depicts a mesmerizing collision event recorded on June 18,2012, with the ATLAS detector. At the center-left of the image, we witness a proton-proton collision that resulted in the creation of a muon pair (represented by red tracks) and an electron pair (displayed as green tracks and calorimeter towers). The insets provide us with further insights into this momentous discovery. The upper-right inset presents a transverse section through the tracking detector, while the lower-right inset offers a glimpse into the vertex region of this collision. These additional perspectives allow scientists to delve deeper into understanding subatomic particles and unraveling their intricate behaviors. Intriguingly, this research revolves around elucidating why particles possess mass – a puzzle solved by introducing the Higgs boson in the Standard Model of particle physics. It is worth noting that CERN announced its historic discovery of this elusive particle on July 4th, just days after capturing this remarkable event. This awe-inspiring illustration not only highlights scientific progress but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about fundamental structures within our universe.
