Scope and content
The discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments was announced in CERN’s main auditorium in July 2012. Here, finally, was the missing piece in the standard model describing our universe. For some, it was the culmination of over 40 years’ work. This champagne bottle was drunk by members of CERN’s Theoretical physics group on the occasion.
