Peter Higgs, British physicist C013 / 6881

Peter Higgs (born 1929), British theoretical physicist, at the Higgs boson discovery announcement, 4th July 2012, at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory). Data collected by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and ATLAS (a torodial LHC apparatus) experiments at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN have shown a new particle at around 125 giga electron volts (GeV). Further analysis will determine if the particle is the long sought for Higgs boson, a fundamental particle that is thought to give other particles mass. Peter Higgs predicted its existence in 1964. The particle is required by many of the Grand Unified Theories (or GUTs) which hope to explain three of the fundamental forces (electromagnetism and the weak and the strong nuclear forces) in a single unified theory. Higgs, along with Francois Englert, was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the Higgs field

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment when Peter Higgs, the renowned British physicist, stood at the forefront of scientific discovery. Taken on July 4th, 2012, at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) during the announcement of the groundbreaking Higgs boson discovery, this image immortalizes a pivotal point in human understanding of the universe. The data collected by two major experiments at CERN - CMS and ATLAS - revealed a new particle with an energy level of approximately 125 giga electron volts (GeV). This finding sparked immense excitement as scientists eagerly sought to determine if this elusive particle was indeed the long-sought-after Higgs boson. Predicted by Peter Higgs himself back in 1964, this fundamental particle is believed to endow other particles with mass. Higgs' work holds significant importance for Grand Unified Theories (GUTs), which aim to unify three fundamental forces into one comprehensive theory. Alongside Francois Englert, Peter Higgs was honored with the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013 for their remarkable discovery of the Higgs field. In this portrait photograph taken during a seminar held in Switzerland, we see a distinguished and thoughtful man who has dedicated his life to unraveling nature's mysteries. With his pioneering contributions to subatomic particle research and his instrumental role in shaping our understanding of matter's structure through string theory and beyond, Peter Higgs remains an emblematic figure within modern physics.
