THE SCIENCES 10 Years of the Higgs Boson: How Far Have We Come, and What Next? On this day ten years ago, physicists at the largest physics experiment in the world said that they had found the Higgs boson. The finding of this subatomic particle supported the existence of the Higgs field, an energy field that permeates the universe and imparts mass to subatomic particles. The existence of the Higgs boson serves as evidence for the Higgs mechanism, which was first predicted in the 1960s. Thus, tremendous excitement and celebration followed the discovery of the particle, which marked the end of a significant branch of physics research after many decades. But it only increased the number of unanswered questions. Today's physicists must make important choices about the purpose and cost of their upcoming experiments based on the problems they would like to have addressed and the methods they would prefer to use. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27-km long tube in which protons are acce
