The Discovery of the Higgs Boson (2012)
This documentary chronicles the incredible journey of scientists in the search for the elusive Higgs Boson particle, which was finally discovered in 2012. From the initial theoretical predictions to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the film follows the scientists as they work to uncover the secrets
The Higgs boson, sometimes called the Higgs particle, is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics produced by the quantum excitation of the Higgs field, one of the fields in particle physics theory. In the Standard Model, the Higgs particle is a massive scalar boson that couples to particles whose mass arises from their interactions with the Higgs field, has zero spin, even (positive) parity, no electric charge, and no color charge. It is also very unstable, decaying into other particles almost immediately upon generation.
