Winner of the 2013 Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books It was the universe’s most elusive particle, the linchpin for everything scientists dreamed up to explain how physics works. It had to be found. But projects as big as CERN’s Large Hadron Collider don’t happen without incredible risks — and occasional skullduggery. In the definitive account of this landmark event, Caltech physicist and acclaimed science writer Sean Carroll reveals the insights, rivalry, and wonder that fuelled the Higgs discovery, and takes us on a riveting and irresistible ride to the very edge of physics today.

    LEP was scheduled to be turned off in September 2000 and dismantled to make way for the LHC. Knowing that their machine had only a few months of operation left, the technicians went for broke, using every trick they could think of to boost it to 209 GeV, a higher energy than its design specifications had ever contemplated. If it broke, it was a lame duck accelerator anyway.
