Englert and Higgs at CERN C013 / 6880
Francois Englert (born 1932, left) and Peter Higgs (born 1929, right), Belgian and British theoretical physicists, at the Higgs boson discovery announcement, 4th July 2012, at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory). Data collected by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and ATLAS (a torodial LHC apparatus) experiments at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN have shown a new particle at around 125 giga electron volts (GeV). Further analysis will determine if the particle is the long sought for Higgs boson, a fundamental particle that is thought to give other particles mass. Peter Higgs predicted its existence in 1964. Englert, along with Higgs and Robert Brout, explained how the Higgs field confers mass on other particles through their interaction with it. This is known as the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. Higgs and Englert were awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the Higgs field

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of physics. In the image, we see two distinguished gentlemen standing side by side, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. On the left is Francois Englert, a Belgian theoretical physicist born in 1932, and on the right is Peter Higgs, a British theoretical physicist born in 1929. The photograph was taken on July 4th, 2012 at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) during the announcement of a groundbreaking discovery. Data collected from experiments conducted by CMS and ATLAS at the LHC revealed evidence of a new particle with an energy level of approximately 125 GeV. This finding could potentially be the long-sought-after Higgs boson - often referred to as "the God particle" - which is believed to give mass to other particles. Peter Higgs had predicted the existence of this fundamental particle back in 1964, while Englert, along with Higgs and Robert Brout, explained how it confers mass through their groundbreaking work known as the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. Their remarkable contributions to our understanding of subatomic particles led them both to receive the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013. This photo serves as a testament to their immense achievements and represents a pivotal moment that forever changed our knowledge about the structure of matter.
