Can you guess the particle detector? Hint: this detector is built around a huge solenoid magnet. 😉 Join us at #CERNScienceGateway to discover all our particle accelerators through interactive exhibitions just like this one. Here we see the open detector of the CMS Experiment at CERN, one of the general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (#LHC). The experiment has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the #StandardModel (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dim

After the discovery 💫 Over 12 years ago, the ATLAS Experiment at CERN and CMS Experiment at CERN at the #LHC announced the discovery of a particle with characteristics consistent with those of the #HiggsBoson. The discovery was recognised with the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013, awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for their theoretical work. Since then, physicists have continued studying this mysterious particle to learn more about our #Universe. Watch Haider (ATLAS) and Cristina (CMS) sha
