At Cern I learned about the Higgs-Boson, which is a particle that has been searched for, researched and studied since 1964. It was not until July of 2012 that a team of scientists-one being Peter Higgs, finally found the missing particle in an experiment located inside the Large Hadron Collider in CERN. The Higgs particle essentially gives other particles their mass and is studied in the Higgs field of physics. I chose this topic because I had searched for lots of information on it in regards to our scavenger hunt, in CERN. Overall, CERN taught me a variety of interesting facts dealing with the universe formation and about the facility itself. The room located in the CERN dome was super fun to explore too.
