Introduction to the search for the elusive Higgs boson from "summary" of The God Particle by Leon M. Lederman,Dick Teresi
In the quest to uncover the secrets of the universe, scientists have embarked on a monumental mission to find a particle that has long eluded detection - the Higgs boson. This elusive particle is believed to hold the key to understanding the fundamental nature of matter and the forces that govern our universe. The search for the Higgs boson is a complex and challenging endeavor that requires cutting-edge technology and the collective efforts of thousands of researchers from around the world. The Higgs boson is a crucial piece of the puzzle in the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental particles that make up everything in the universe and the interactions between them. Without the Higgs boson, the Standard Model would be incomplete, leaving many questions unanswered. The existence of the Higgs boson was first proposed in the 1960s ...
