Higgs boson research, ATLAS detector C013 / 6890
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 (in purple area at centre left) produced two muon pairs (red tracks). 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 mesmerizing collision event recorded on June 10,2012, using the ATLAS detector. At the center-left of the image, a vibrant purple area represents the collision itself – a proton-proton interaction that holds immense significance in unraveling the mysteries of our universe. The collision resulted in two muon pairs, represented by striking red tracks traversing through space. These decay products are crucial for confirming and validating theories being tested within particle physics. In fact, this wealth of data collected played an instrumental role in ultimately announcing the discovery of the Higgs boson on July 4th of that same year. Intriguingly, it is through understanding particles like the Higgs boson that we can comprehend why other particles possess mass according to the Standard Model. This profound revelation revolutionized our comprehension of matter's structure and solidified CERN's position as a global leader in scientific exploration. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring illustration, we are reminded not only of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge but also its remarkable ability to push boundaries and unlock nature's deepest secrets.
