Scientists estimate that visible matter makes up no more than four percent of the total mass of the universe, and the long-sought Higgs boson particle could be a bridge to understanding the 96 percent that remains obscured. A team of Wayne State researchers, led by professors Paul Karchin and Robert Harr, made important contributions to the Higgs boson’s discovery, which was announced from Switzerland in July.
Join us as we honor the team for helping ensure the 24/7 operation of the experiment and analyzing data at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, and on Wayne State’s campus.
