Simulated detection of Higgs boson. Computer simulation of an
event in which the decay of a Higgs boson particle produces four muons.
Two of these muons are seen here (green tracks). The muons, along with
countless other particles (red and blue tracks), are produced in a
head-on collision between two protons. The Higgs boson is a localized
clustering in the Higgs Field. This field permeates space, and local
distortions of the Higgs Field are thought to be the way that particles
gain mass. This image shows how the Higgs boson might be seen in the CMS
detector on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European particle
physics laboratory.
