THE MOMENT OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT (PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE 2013)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 4:51
Updated: 09 Oct 2013

Geneva, 8 October 2013. CERN physicists from ATLAS and CMS celebrated at CERN the award of the Nobel Prize in physics to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider." The announcement by the ATLAS and CMS experiments took place on 4 July 2012 at CERN. Members of the ATLAS and CMS collaborations present at CERN on Oct. 8 assembled in their building (b. 40) on the CERN Meyrin site to watch the live webcast from Stockholm. This VNR shows the physicists waiting for the announcement, celebrating the announcement and listening to a short spontaneous speech by CERN's director general Rolf Heuer, who congratulated the theoretical physicists for the award and the experimental physicists at CERN for their discovery. The Higgs particle was discovered by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, each of which involves over 3000 people from all around the world. They have constructed sophisticated instruments -- particle detectors -- to study proton collisions at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), itself a highly complex instrument involving many people and institutes in its construction. The Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) mechanism was first proposed in 1964 in two papers published independently, the first by Belgian physicists Robert Brout and François Englert, and the second by British physicist Peter Higgs. It explains how the force responsible for beta decay is much weaker than electromagnetism, but is better known as the mechanism that endows fundamental particles with mass. A third paper, published by Americans Gerald Guralnik and Carl Hagen with their British colleague Tom Kibble further contributed to the development of the new idea, which now forms an essential part of the Standard Model of particle physics. As was pointed out by Higgs, a key prediction of the idea is the existence of a massive boson of a new type, which was discovered by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN in 2012. The Standard Model describes the fundamental particles from which we, and all the visible matter in the Universe, are made, along with the interactions that govern their behaviour. It is a remarkably successful theory that has been thoroughly tested by experiment over many years. Until last year, the BEH mechanism was the last remaining piece of the model to be experimentally verified. Now that it has been found, experiments at CERN are eagerly looking for physics beyond the Standard Model. The A roll and B rolls contain footage shot on Oct 8 2013, footage of the discovery announcement at CERN on July 4 2012 (including interviews given at the time by Peter Higgs and Francois Englert at CERN just after the seminar announcing the discovery) and general CERN, LHC, ATLAS, CMS and Higgs boson event displays footage.
