  40. First: Higgs discovery

  41. LHCb ATLAS CMS ALICE

  42. How are discoveries made? New ? Normal muon muon ? muon muon

  43. l+ Higgs  ZZ  4 leptonssmall number of beautiful events Z l- higgs l- Z 120.000 Higgs bosons l- HZZ  l+l-l+l- Only 1 in 1000 Higgs bosons decays to 4 leptons 50% chance that ATLAS detector finds them 60 (Higgs  4 lepton) events peak !? ‘other’ 52 events with Higgs 68 events

  44. Higgs  2 photons photon higgs photon Hγγ decay peak !?

  45. Interpretation of excess Claim discovery if: Probability of observing excess smaller than 1 in 1 milion Throwing 8 times 6 in a row

  46. Discovery in slow-motion jul/11 jul/11 mar/12 mar/12 dec/11 dec/11 Time-line higgs discovery jul/12 aug/12 jul/11 jul/11 mar/12 dec/11 dec/11 jul/12

  47. Discovery of Higgs particle on July 4, 2012

  48. What is mass ?? Anno 1687 Mass is de ‘exchange rate’ between force and acceleration: Does not describe what mass is ... F = m x a Newton

  49. What is mass ?? Anno 1905 Mass is energy Describes what mass is ! But not where it comes from … E = m x c2 Einstein

  50. What is mass ?? Anno 1964 Mass of elementary particles is due to “friction” of ubiquitous‘Higgs field’ m: ψψH Higgs
