It is the final jewel in the Standard Model of particle physics, a crowning achievement of 20th century science that gives a powerful understanding of fundamental particles and their interactions. In the Standard Model, the Higgs is the quantum of a field that accounts for the masses of those particles.\u0026nbsp; We will describe the apparatus, the data and other searches.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHoward Gordon is the\u0026nbsp;US\u0026nbsp;Deputy Operations Program Manager for the ATLAS Experiment.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Discovery!
