Particle tracks from a proton-proton collision seen by the CMS (compact muon solenoid) detector at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. Before the collision the ions had been accelerated by the large hadron collider (LHC). A large number of particles (orange lines) were created by the collision. Among them was a Higgs boson. The particle was not seen, but is revealed through its decay products; a pair of Z bosons that each decay into a pair of muons (long red lines). The Higgs boson is thought to give other particles mass. The first sighting of it was announced by scientists at CERN on 4th July 2012.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print captures the aftermath of a proton-proton collision within the CMS (compact muon solenoid) detector at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. The ions had been accelerated by the powerful Large Hadron Collider (LHC), leading to an explosion of particles upon collision. Among this chaotic dance of subatomic entities lies a significant discovery - the elusive Higgs boson. Although not directly observed in this image, scientists were able to identify its presence through its decay products: a pair of Z bosons that each disintegrate into two long red lines representing muons. This groundbreaking revelation was announced on July 4th, 2012, marking a monumental milestone in particle physics. The Higgs boson is believed to be responsible for imparting mass onto other particles and plays a crucial role in our understanding of the structure and composition of matter. Its detection shed light on fundamental questions about the universe's origins and provided valuable insights into cosmology. Displayed against a black background, this mesmerizing photograph showcases the intricate trajectories left behind by various subatomic particles as they traverse through space-time. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our ceaseless exploration into the mysteries that govern our existence. With its combination of scientific precision and aesthetic beauty, this image encapsulates both the immense complexity inherent in particle collisions and their profound implications for unraveling nature's deepest secrets.
