Michael Hauschild führt den Leser dieses essentials zurück in den September 2008 zum holprigen Start des Large Hadron Collider LHC, des größten Teilchenbeschleunigers der Welt und der heutigen Weltmaschine am CERN, dem Europäischen Forschungszentrum für Teilchenphysik bei Genf – einem der faszinierendsten Forschungszentren überhaupt. Der Autor erläutert, wie ausgehend von den ersten Ideen die großen Kollaborationen am LHC entstanden, Zusammenschlüsse von bis zu 3.000 Physikern.

With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the LHC experiments have closed the most important gap in our understanding of fundamental interactions, confirming that such interactions between elementary particles can be described by quantum field theory, more specifically by a renormalizable gauge theory. This theory is a priori valid for arbitrarily high energy scales and does not require an ultraviolet completion.
