Simulation of Higgs boson production
Simulated detection of Higgs boson. Computer simulation of an event in which the decay of a Higgs boson particle produces four muons. Two of these muons are seen here (green tracks). The muons, along with countless other particles (red and blue tracks), are produced in a head-on collision between two protons. The Higgs boson is a localised clustering in the Higgs Field. This field permeates space, and local distortions of the Higgs Field are thought to be the way that particles gain mass. This image shows how the Higgs boson might be seen in the CMS detector on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a simulation of Higgs boson production, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of particle physics research. The image depicts the simulated detection of a Higgs boson, with four muons resulting from its decay. Two vibrant green tracks represent these muons, while numerous other particles are depicted by red and blue tracks. The photograph provides an insight into the complex process that occurs during a head-on collision between two protons within the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Europe's renowned particle physics laboratory. The Higgs boson itself is portrayed as a localized clustering in the Higgs Field – an omnipresent force permeating space. What makes this image particularly intriguing is its representation of how scientists believe particles acquire mass through local distortions in the Higgs Field. By observing such phenomena using advanced detectors like CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid), researchers can gain valuable insights into fundamental aspects of our universe. Displayed on an electronic screen or computer monitor, this simulation offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding regarding the building blocks of our existence. As we delve deeper into these intricate simulations and experiments, we inch closer to unraveling some of nature's most profound mysteries – all thanks to groundbreaking scientific endeavors carried out by institutions like CERN and their dedicated teams.
