FORSCHUNG PHYSIK HIGGS BOSON
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 (centre left) produced two muon pairs (red tracks). The inset at right shows a transverse section through the tracking detector. The inset at upper left shows the vertex region of the collision. 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.
