Overview

The University of Tokyo, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and Atlas Japan Group (ATLAS-Japan) are pleased to announce a press conference to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson particle on July 4, 2012, which attracted worldwide attention.

At the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), where researchers from all over the world are gathered, the third phase of the LHC experiment (Run3) started on April 22, 2022, after a shutdown period (about three years) to upgrade four experimental facilities including the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the ATLAS experiment. The beam collision energy is expected to reach 13.6 TeV (trillion electron volts) in early July, the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson, and the accelerator is being commissioned at the site.

At this press conference, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce the scientific results expected to be obtained through the LHC Run3 and the high-brilliance LHC project, in addition to the knowledge of the properties of the Higgs boson and the properties of the vacuum as a mass origin of elementary particles that have been revealed in the decade since the Higgs boson was discovered. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce the scientific results We hope that you will join us for this meeting.

This meeting is for the press only. Please register in advance by filling out the form in the release that has already been sent to you.

For more information, please visit the website of the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics.
