Table of contents: title: The discovery of the Higgs boson was the culmination of the largest experiment ever run, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. It made headlines around the world and resulted in a Nobel Prize. For the first time, this book presents an inside account of the hunt for the Higgs from the people who were really there. It is the story of what happens when the world's most expensive experiment blows up, of neutrinos that may or may not travel faster than light, and the reality of life in an underground bunker in Switzerland. This book will also leave readers with a working knowledge of the new physics and what the discovery of the Higgs particle means for how we define the laws of nature.
