CERN physicists find new particle considered Higgs boson

GENEVA, Switzerland - British physicist Peter Higgs is surrounded by reporters prior to a press conference at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in a suburb of Geneva on July 4, 2012. CERN announced the same day the discovery of a new particle believed to be the so-called Higgs boson, the most fundamental particle that gives mass to all other elementary particles. The Higgs boson was theorized by Higgs at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, among others, in 1964.
