Higgs boson research, ATLAS detector C013 / 6889
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 May 2012. This graphic includes the detailed structure of ATLASs liquid argon calorimeters. The collision produced two electron pairs. The tracks and clusters of the two electron pairs are coloured red and blue, respectively. 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's ATLAS detector. The graphic depicts a transverse section through the detector, providing an intricate view of one of the countless particle collision events recorded during the quest for this elusive subatomic particle. Taken on 18 May 2012, this particular event captures a proton-proton collision that generated two electron pairs. The red and blue colors highlight the tracks and clusters of these electron pairs respectively, offering valuable insights into their behavior within the detector. In line with the Standard Model, which seeks to explain mass in particles, scientists utilized the Higgs boson as a fundamental building block for understanding this phenomenon. CERN made history by announcing its discovery of the Higgs boson on 4 July 2012, marking a significant milestone in our understanding of particle physics and unraveling some mysteries surrounding matter's structure. This image not only represents cutting-edge scientific research but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity. As we delve deeper into exploring subatomic particles and colliding them at incredible speeds using advanced technologies like Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we continue to unlock new realms of knowledge about our universe. This photograph is an awe-inspiring reminder of how far we have come in our pursuit to comprehend nature's most fundamental secrets.
