On July 4, 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in
Geneva madehistory when they discovered an entirely new type of
subatomic particle that many scientists believe is the Higgs boson.
For forty years, physicists searched for this capstone to the
Standard Model of particle physics--the theory that describes both
the most elementary components that are known in matter and the
forces through which they interact. This particle points to the
Higgs field, which provides the key to understanding why elementary
particles have mass. In Higgs Discovery, Lisa Randall explains the
science behind this monumental discovery, its exhilarating
implications, and the power of empty space.
