Peter Higgs was one of the pioneers who brought the electroweak theory and the Standard Model of particle physics into being in the 1960s. He posited a new field and particle that would provide a mechanism for how elementary particles gain mass.

The CMS collaboration released over 40 new results in Winter 2024, presented at various conferences around the world.
The CMS experiment at CERN is proud to announce the first release of 13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected in 2016.
A fundamental parameter of the Standard Model, the electroweak mixing angle plays a key role in the “Higgs mechanism”, when the W and Z gauge bosons get their masses through electroweak symmetry breaking.

If you have ever had Neapolitan gelato, you know how important it is to combine three different flavours, each in just the right size. And the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is not less tasty than that!
