Higgs discovery papers
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 was announced through two landmark scientific papers—one from the ATLAS experiment[1] and one from the CMS experiment[2] at CERN. These papers are among the most important in modern particle physics because they confirmed the existence of the long-predicted Higgs field.
Before these papers, the Higgs boson was a missing piece of the Standard Model, originally proposed by Peter Higgs and others in 1964.[3][4][5]
