The direct discovery of the W and Z bosons at the SppS in 1983 provided solid experimental support for the existence of the Higgs boson

The resultant particles quickly spread around the globe, potentially influencing Earth’s climate on an intercontinental scale

The observation provides direct experimental access to the mass of an elementary particle known as the charm quark

As the various breakthroughs of the 1970s gradually consolidated the Standard Model, the Brout–Englert–Higgs field and its boson emerged as the most promising theoretical model to explain the origin of mass

The collaboration has put the seesaw model of neutrino mass to a new test

The Higgs boson holds the record (48 years) among elementary particles for the time between prediction and discovery, going from an esoteric technicality to commanding the global spotlight at the world’s most powerful collider

Beams of protons are again circulating around the collider’s 27-kilometre ring, marking the end of a multiple-year hiatus for upgrade work

Precise knowledge of the top-quark mass is of paramount importance to understand our world at the smallest scale
