Happy birthday! Ten years of Higgs Bosons – past, present, and future!

On July 4, 2012, researchers at the CERN laboratory in Europe announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. It was a tremendous triumph for the Standard Model of particle physics and confirmed a prediction made nearly half a century prior. In 2022, we celebrate the tenth anniversary of that momentous discovery. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln reminds us of the discovery and lays out a roadmap for research over the next several years. Working out the properties of the Higgs boson will keep the research community very busy.
