Description
Higgs boson research. Graphic of a candidate Higgs boson decay event detected at CERN in October 2017. This event, thought to be a Higgs boson decaying to two b-quarks (blue cones), was recorded with the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) detector on 30 October 2017. The missing energy is shown as a white dashed line. The two central b-tagged jets are represented by light blue cones. They contain the green and yellow bars corresponding to the energy deposition in the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters 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.
