Higgs boson research, CMS detector C013 / 6885
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 CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector in 2012. It shows characteristics expected of the decay of the Standard Models Higgs boson to a pair of photons (dashed yellow lines and green towers). 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 mesmerizing 3D computer graphic of a proton-proton collision event recorded in 2012 by the CMS detector (Compact Muon Solenoid). This particular collision exhibits distinct characteristics expected from the decay of the Standard Model's Higgs boson into a pair of photons. The dashed yellow lines and green towers represent the paths and energies of these gamma rays, providing valuable insights into the structure of matter and subatomic particles. In line with its theoretical role, the discovery of the Higgs boson has revolutionized our understanding of particle physics by explaining why particles possess mass. CERN made history on July 4th, 2012 when it announced this momentous discovery to the world. This print serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our ability to unravel nature's deepest secrets through cutting-edge experimental techniques. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this image invites viewers to marvel at both its artistic beauty and scientific significance. It symbolizes mankind's tireless quest for answers about our universe while highlighting CERN's pivotal role in pushing forward frontiers in fundamental physics research. Photographed by Thomas McCauley and Lucas Taylor for Science Photo Library, this remarkable visual representation captures an extraordinary milestone in scientific exploration that will continue to inspire generations to come.
