Francois Englert, Belgian physicist C013 / 6879
Francois Englert (born 1932), Belgian 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. Englert, along with Peter Higgs and Robert Brout, explained how the Higgs field confers mass on other particles through their interaction with it. This is known as the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. Englert, along with Peter Higgs, was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the Higgs field

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Francois Englert, a distinguished Belgian physicist, during the historic announcement of the Higgs boson discovery on July 4th, 2012. The image showcases Englert at CERN, the renowned European particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. At this momentous occasion, data collected by the CMS and ATLAS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) revealed a new particle with an energy level of approximately 125 giga electron volts (GeV). This finding marked a significant step towards confirming if this elusive particle was indeed the long-sought-after Higgs boson. Francois Englert's groundbreaking contributions to theoretical physics cannot be overstated. Alongside Peter Higgs and Robert Brout, he elucidated how the Higgs field imparts mass to other particles through their interaction with it – an explanation known as the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. Their remarkable work revolutionized our understanding of fundamental particles and earned them recognition in receiving the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013. In this portrait-style photograph, we see a focused and contemplative Englert amidst his colleagues and fellow scientists. His presence exudes wisdom and expertise as he stands at the forefront of cutting-edge research into subatomic structures that underpin our understanding of matter itself. This image serves as a testament to his invaluable contributions to particle physics and highlights his pivotal role in unraveling one of science's greatest mysteries – solidifying his place among esteemed Nobel laureates.
