The LHC experiment collaborations at CERN receive Breakthrough Prize
- The LHC experiment collaborations at CERN, including ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb, were awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for their work based on LHC Run-2 data up to July 2024.
- The prize recognized the collaborations' achievements in measuring Higgs boson properties, discovering new particles, studying rare processes, and exploring matter-antimatter asymmetry and extreme conditions at the Large Hadron Collider.
- The $3 million Prize will be donated to the CERN & Society Foundation to provide grants for doctoral students from member institutes to conduct research at CERN.
- ATLAS and CMS, two general-purpose experiments at the LHC, continue to investigate the properties of the Higgs boson and explore the electroweak scale and beyond.
- ALICE studies quark-gluon plasma while LHCb explores differences between matter and antimatter, violation of symmetries, and composite particles.
- The Breakthrough Prize acknowledges the scientific breakthroughs achieved by the thousands of collaborators from around the world working on these experiments.
- The prize recipients expressed gratitude for the recognition and highlighted the significance of the discoveries in advancing our understanding of the Universe at a fundamental level.
- The LHC experiments will continue to push the boundaries of physics with the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade starting in 2030, aiming for new discoveries.
- The breakthroughs and measurements made by the LHC experiments have significantly contributed to the advancement of fundamental physics and our knowledge of the Universe.
- The collaborations' efforts demonstrate the power of international collaboration and dedication to unraveling the mysteries of the universe.
