Physics World July 2022
Smashing stuff: people, plans and projects in particle physics
This special issue of Physics World marks the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson with a feature by Achintya Rao, who on that famous day in July 2012 was working as a science communicator for CERN. He reveals the behind-the-scenes story of how the day unfolded at CERN as the news of the Higgs was revealed to the world. Elsewhere, there’s an interview with Fermilab boss Lia Merminga and a profile of pioneering particle physicist Helen Edwards. Looking ahead, Michael Riordan also considers the future of high-energy physics.
