Ten years ago, a series of small bumps in ATLAS and CMS data confirmed a 48 year-old theoretical prediction, and particle physics hasn’t been the same since.

This special issue of the Courier explores the collective effort of high-energy physicists in discovering the Higgs boson, the immense progress made by ATLAS and CMS in understanding this enigmatic particle, and the deep connections between the Higgs boson and some of the most profound open questions in fundamental physics.
