This event (a proton-proton collision) was recorded with the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) detector on 18 June 2012. The collision (centre left) produced a muon pair (red tracks) and an electron pair (green tracks and calorimeter towers). The insets are a transverse section through the tracking detector (upper right) and the vertex region of the collision (lower right). In the Standard Model, the Higgs boson is used to explain why particles have mass. CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) announced the Higgs boson discovery on 4 July 2012.
