    About this ebook

    * Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.

    As you read this summary, you will discover what the Higgs boson is and the issues that surrounded its discovery. You will also evaluate the colossal means that had to be deployed to find it and how the existence of this particle, theorized by Peter Higgs in the 1960s, could be proven.

    You will also discover :

    what are the properties of the Higgs boson and its field;
    what are the particles that currently make up the "standard model";
    how the LHC, the world's most powerful particle gas pedal, works;
    what are the particularities of CERN, which hosts it;
    that the announcement of the discovery of the Higgs boson shook the scientific community.

    In July 2012, an announcement shook the world of physics. The existence of the Higgs boson is confirmed by CERN, the European Council for Nuclear Research. To detect this particle, a particle gas pedal with a diameter of 27 km, the LHC, built under the Franco-Swiss border, and a budget of 7 billion euros were needed. Here is the story of this discovery and the explanation of its stakes.
