#higgsboson
Happy 70th anniversary CERN 🎉 #OnThisDay 70 years ago, twelve European countries came together to establish what has become the world’s largest #ParticlePhysics laboratory, home to the #LHC, and where the #HiggsBoson was discovered 12 years ago. In how many ways can you say #HappyBirthday? In this video, representing our 24 Member States, CERN people share their birthday wishes in their native language. #CERN70

#OnThisDay twelve years ago, two experiments at CERN announced the existence of a particle with characteristics consistent with those of the #HiggsBoson. Named after the late theoretical physicist Peter Higgs, its discovery crowned the #StandardModel of particle physics. In 2013, the The Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for their 1964 proposal of the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism. To mark 60 years since Peter Higgs published his now famous paper predicting the existence of the boson named after him, here we see 60 event displays from ATLAS Experiment and CMS Experiment CERN, showing collisions where a Higgs boson is produced and then decays into various particles. #FunFact: in the audio, you can hear Peter Higgs speak about the discovery in his own words.
