Higgs boson research, ATLAS detector C013 / 6888
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 May 2012. The collision produced two electron pairs. The tracks and clusters of the two electron pairs are coloured red and blue, respectively. This is part of the enormous amount of data collected to enable confirmation of the theories being tested. 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 proton-proton collision event recorded on 18 May 2012 using the ATLAS detector, part of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) apparatus. The collision resulted in the production of two electron pairs, with their tracks and clusters beautifully colored red and blue. The image represents just a fraction of the immense data collected during this experiment, which aimed to confirm theories about particle mass within the framework of the Standard Model. In this model, the elusive Higgs boson plays a crucial role in explaining why particles possess mass. CERN made history by announcing its discovery of the Higgs boson on 4 July 2012, an achievement that revolutionized our understanding of subatomic particles and solidified our knowledge about fundamental structures in matter. This print not only captures a momentous scientific breakthrough but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unwavering commitment to unraveling nature's deepest secrets. As we continue exploring new frontiers in particle physics, images like these remind us of how far we have come while inspiring us to push further into uncharted territories for future discoveries that will shape our understanding of existence itself.
