CERN ATLAS Detector

3D Model

Holoxica made a digital hologram to celebrate the discovery of the Higgs Boson and the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Peter Higgs (Edinburgh University) and Francois Englert (University of Brussels). The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle of nature that is responsible for the formation of matter, or the stuff that we’re all made of. It was predicted way back in 1964 and but it took four decades to find. It was discovered on 4th July 2012 by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research into particle physics. This model shows the ATLAS detector with a candidate Higgs event.
