P. Higgs never expected to become famous. In 1964, he proposed an elegant solution to one of particle physics' biggest puzzles. ~fifty years later, the discovery of the earned him the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with François Englert. His story reminds us that curiosity, patience and collaboration are at the heart of scientific discovery.

And that's a wrap on our Higgs Boson Week! ⚛️

Over the past few days, we've celebrated the particle that transformed our understanding of the Universe, from its theoretical prediction to its discovery, and how students around the world can explore it through IPPOG's .

But the Higgs boson is just one of many fascinating particles that make up the world of particle physics.

If you could learn more about one particle, which would you choose?

Before it was discovered, it was just an idea. In 1964, several physicists, including Higgs, proposed a revolutionary idea: a new field filling the Universe could explain why fundamental particles have mass.
At the time, it was only a theory.
It would take ~50 years before experiments at could finally test it.

💡 Every great scientific discovery starts with a question.

4 July 2012: the day changed forever. After decades of work by thousands of scientists worldwide, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN announced the discovery of a new particle consistent with the . It was one of the greatest achievements in the history of particle physics and confirmed a prediction made almost half a century earlier.

⭐ Did you know? ⭐

When the Higgs boson was discovered on 4 July 2012, Peter Higgs was sitting in the audience at CERN. As the announcement was made, he became visibly emotional.

Later, he simply said: "I never expected this to happen in my lifetime."

One year later, he was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics, together with .
Sometimes, the greatest discoveries begin with an idea... and half a century of patience.

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

If you are an high school student, a teacher or a particle physicists interested in taking part to the Masterclasses check out our website! ippog.org and learn how you can join our wonderful team!

Why is the Higgs boson so important?

Without the Higgs field, many fundamental particles would have no mass.

That means:
⭐ atoms couldn't form
⭐ stars wouldn't exist
⭐ planets wouldn't exist
⭐ neither would we.

The Higgs boson is much more than a particle—it's experimental evidence of one of the key ingredients of the Standard Model.

🔹14 Years of the Higgs Boson 🔹

On 4 July 2012, the world celebrated one of the greatest discoveries in modern physics: the .

To mark the 14th anniversary of this milestone, we're dedicating this week to the particle that changed our understanding of the Universe.

Over the next five days, we'll explore:
🔹 How the Higgs boson was first imagined
🔹 Why it matters
🔹 How it was discovered
🔹 How students investigate it through IPPOG Masterclasses
🔹 And the scientist behind its prediction

Stay tuned for one story each day! ⚛️
