Simulation of Higgs boson production

Simulated detection of Higgs boson. Computer simulation of an event in which the decay of a Higgs boson particle produces four muons (red tracks). The muons, along with countless other particles (blue tracks), are produced in a head-on collision between two protons. The green lines represent part of the detector structure. 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 mesmerizing simulation of Higgs boson production, offering us a glimpse into the intricate world of particle physics research. The image depicts a computer-generated detection of the elusive Higgs boson, with four muons leaving behind striking red tracks as evidence of their existence. These muons, accompanied by an array of countless other particles represented by blue tracks, are born from the powerful collision between two protons. The green lines in the picture symbolize a fraction of the detector structure that aids in capturing these fleeting particles. The Higgs boson itself is portrayed as a localized clustering within the vast expanse of the Higgs Field - an omnipresent medium permeating space. Scientists believe that distortions within this field are responsible for endowing particles with mass. Displayed on an electronic screen at CERN's CMS detector on the Large Hadron Collider, this image provides valuable insights into how we might observe and study the enigmatic Higgs boson. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unyielding curiosity about fundamental aspects governing our universe. Captured by Science Photo Library, this remarkable visual representation invites us to marvel at both its aesthetic beauty and scientific significance while reminding us that there is still much left to uncover in our ongoing exploration of particle physics.
