Physicists Release Comprehensive New Measurements on the 10-Year Anniversary of Higgs Discovery

Particle physics changed forever on July 4, 2012. That was the day the two major physics experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CMS and ATLAS, jointly announced the discovery of a particle that matched the properties of the Higgs boson-;a particle theorized decades earlier. The discovery cemented the final piece in the Standard Model of particle physics.
