Higgs boson research, ATLAS detector C013 / 6894
Higgs boson research. Graphic of a transverse section through a detector 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 June 2012. The collision produced a muon pair (red tracks) and an electron pair (green tracks and liquid argon calorimeter towers, lower right). 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 image depicts a graphic representation of a transverse section through a detector, capturing one of the numerous particle collision events recorded during the search for the elusive Higgs boson. This particular event, which occurred on 18 June 2012, involved a proton-proton collision and was captured by the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) detector. The visual display highlights various elements of this significant discovery. The red tracks represent a muon pair resulting from the collision, while green tracks and liquid argon calorimeter towers in the lower right corner signify an electron pair. These particles are crucial to understanding why other particles possess mass according to the Standard Model. CERN made history when it announced its momentous discovery of the Higgs boson on 4 July 2012. Referred to as "the God particle" this fundamental subatomic particle revolutionized our comprehension of matter's structure and paved new paths in particle physics research. As we delve into this mesmerizing photograph, we witness not only scientific achievement but also human curiosity and determination pushing boundaries in pursuit of knowledge about our universe's building blocks. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless quest for understanding and sheds light on how collaboration between scientists across Europe has propelled us further into unraveling nature's mysteries.
