P. Higgs never expected to become famous. In 1964, he proposed a solution to one of particle physics' biggest puzzles. Nearly 50 years later, the #HiggsBoson discovery earned him the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics. Curiosity, patience and collaboration made it possible.

4 July 2012: the day physics changed forever. After decades of work, #CERN 's ATLAS and CMS experiments announced the discovery of the #HiggsBoson, confirming a theory proposed nearly 50 years earlier, a triumph of collaboration, technology and curiosity. ⚛️

Did you know that thousands of high-school students analyse real CERN data every year? Through the #InternationalMasterclasses, students work with authentic data from the LHC experiments.
For one day, they they become scientists... and that's fantastic, don't you think?

Without the Higgs field, many fundamental particles would have no mass =
atoms couldn't form
stars wouldn't exist
planets wouldn't exist
neither would we.
The #Higgsboson is much more than a particle, it's experimental evidence of one of the key ingredients of the #StandardModel

🔹 14 Years of the Higgs Boson 🔹
On 4 July 2012, the #HiggsBoson changed our understanding of the Universe. This week, join us as we explore its story: from theory to discovery, to how students investigate it through IPPOG Masterclasses. Stay tuned! ⚛️
