Description | We have discovered the Higgs Boson the fundamental scalar boson that is predicted to give mass to all other particles. |
Exploitation Route | Further research is required to establish if this is the Higgs Boson or if it is one of many (possibly Supersymmetric) Higgs Bosons. |
Sectors | Education |

Description | The discovery of the Higgs Boson captured the imagination of millions of people. It will lead to an increased interest in science among the general public and lead to more students studying science at University. Since then the level of detail of measurements in the Higgs and Electroweak sectors, as well as searches for new particles have led us to a closer understanding of the interactions of fundamental particles, with much detail yet to be revealed at the LHC. |

Impact | 812 peer reviewed journals articles (as of January 2019) on results of analysis of ATLAS data, including the discovery of the Higgs boson. Capability and skills development: Around 40PhD students per year many of whom move into industry, commerce and the public sector after graduating. ATLAS PhD students typically acquire very high levels of expertise in areas such as detector development, electronics, software design and big data analytics, and these skills, together with the experience of working in a large international collaboration, make our students highly sought-after by employers in the wider economy as well as within academia. STFC Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) in Data Intensive Science (DIS), in which ATLAS-UK physicists have been playing a leading role over the past two years. Our training of students and PDRAs, through these Centres, directly supports the first two pillars of the government's Industrial Strategy, as well as one of the Eight Great Technologies identified by the government, by helping to prepare the UK workforce for opportunities in the rapidly growing data science driven market sectors. The bespoke training programmes offered by these CDTs has been designed with input from industry partners and these partners are actively involved in the delivery of training. Public engagement: The hugely-positive publicity surrounding the LHC and particularly the discovery of the Higgs boson by ATLAS and CMS in 2012 have demonstrated the general public's great interest in this area. The importance of experiments with the scale and vision of ATLAS in inspiring a scientifically and technologically literate culture seems indisputable. Dissemination is a routine activity for ATLAS-UK physicists. Examples include frequent talks to students at schools across the UK and at events such as the Cheltenham Science Festival, interviews for local, national and international media, social media posts, podcasts, and exhibits at events, such as the Royal Society Summer Exhibition. ATLAS-UK Physicists have been playing a leading role in many Particle Physics Masterclasses organized annually across the UK, including the largest one at RAL with over 700 students per year. A key activity in these Masterclasses is the search for the Higgs boson in ATLAS data, which uses a simplified version of the ATLAS Event Display software developed by ATLAS-UK physicists, and which is used globally. Several episodes of Horizon (BBC2) have focused on ATLAS and featured ATLAS-UK physicists. The resources employed in the outreach activities include the time and enthusiasm of all those involved in the project, be they students, PDRAs, engineers or academics. In addition, we have close relations with the CERN press office and have worked well with STFC staff on this too. There have been many recent visits to CERN by MPs, MSPs and Government Ministers. |
