Frank Wilczek explains why the Higgs sector could act as a portal through which to access a wide class of “phantom” particles that might otherwise elude detection.
Gerard ’t Hooft reflects on how renormalisation elevated the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism to a consistent theory capable of making testable predictions.
The masses of the Higgs boson and the top quark hint that there must be physics beyond the SM that prevents the universe from decaying into a new vacuum state, argues John Ellis.
The search for the Standard Model Higgs boson, the missing keystone of the current framework for describing elementary particles and forces, has been going on for some 40 years.
ATLAS reports on their side of the story regarding the discovery of the Higgs boson.
Looking back to the day when the Standard Model was completed.

Sally Dawson explains how the co-dependence of theory and experiment is driving a deeper understanding of the Higgs boson.
Precision measurements in Run 3 can act as a gateway to new discoveries explains Abideh Jafari.
Ten years of experimental scrutiny by ATLAS and CMS strongly suggest the Higgs boson originates from the minimal Higgs sector required by the Standard Model.
ATLAS reviews recent searches for exotic decays of the Higgs boson and for new heavy particles that decay into it.
The 2020 update of the European strategy for particle physics forms the basis of CERN’s objectives for the next five years, explains CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti.
An electron–positron Higgs factory following the LHC would significantly expand our knowledge about this unique and mysterious elementary scalar.
The veteran theorist explains how the LHC and other recent results have impacted his view on nature.
Tim Gershon of LHCb argues that apparently harmless academic discussions risk evolving into a negative outlook for the field.
John Ellis reflects on 50 years at the forefront of theoretical high-energy physics - and whether the field is ripe for a paradigm shift.
We have conquered the easiest challenges in fundamental physics, says Nima Arkani-Hamed. The case for building the next major collider is now more compelling than ever.
In June 1993, ATLAS and CMS received the provisional go-ahead to submit technical proposals, beginning a difficult but amazing path to the major discovery.
Mike Lamont recounts the herculean effort that brought the LHC to life and steered it to discovery.
