Simulation of Higgs boson production
^BSimulated detection of Higgs boson. ^b Computer simulation of an event in which the decay of a Higgs boson particle produces four muons. Two of these muons are seen here (green tracks). The muons, along with countless other particles (red and blue tracks), are produced in a head-on collision between two protons. The Higgs boson is a localised clustering in the Higgs Field. This field permeates space, and local distortions of the Higgs Field are thought to be the way that particles gain mass. This image shows how the Higgs boson might be seen in the CMS detector on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a simulated detection of the elusive Higgs boson, shedding light on one of the most significant discoveries in particle physics research. The image depicts a computer simulation capturing an event where the decay of a Higgs boson particle generates four muons, two of which are visible as vibrant green tracks. In this mesmerizing display, these muons intertwine with countless other particles represented by red and blue tracks. These particles emerge from a powerful head-on collision between two protons within the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Europe's esteemed particle physics laboratory. The Higgs boson itself is depicted as a localized clustering in the ethereal Higgs Field that permeates space. This field holds immense importance as it is believed to be responsible for endowing particles with mass through local distortions. The image provides us with an insightful glimpse into how scientists envision observing the enigmatic Higgs boson within the CMS detector at CERN. As we delve into this visual representation captured by Science Photo Library, we witness not only cutting-edge technology but also humanity's relentless pursuit of unraveling nature's deepest secrets. It serves as a testament to our insatiable curiosity and unwavering dedication to expanding our understanding of the fundamental building blocks that compose our universe.
