The Higgs adventure: five years in
“I think we have it, no?” was the question posed in the CERN auditorium on 4 July 2012 by Rolf Heuer, CERN’s Director-General at the time.

CMS inches to the top of the Higgs-coupling mountain
The top-Higgs coupling is crucial for the production of Higgs bosons at the LHC.

ATLAS takes a new angle on the top quark
The first analysis concerns the polarisation of W bosons produced in the decays of top-quark–antiquark pairs.

CMS probes non-standard Higgs decays to ττ
Observing the Higgs via its decays into pairs of fermions further tests the predictions of the Standard Model.

ATLAS makes precision measurement of W mass
A precise measurement of the mass of the W boson, which was discovered at CERN in 1983, is vital because it is closely related to the masses of the top quark and the Higgs boson.

ATLAS spots light-by-light scattering
Heisenberg and his student Euler realised that photons may scatter off of each other through a quantum-loop process involving virtual electron and positron pairs.

Studies of electroweak-boson production by CMS
It is quite improbable for two colliding protons to produce a W or Z electroweak gauge boson. Producing two or more W or Z bosons in the same collision is even less likely.

ATLAS homes in on Higgs-quark couplings
The two heaviest quarks, the bottom and top, are particularly interesting because they have the largest couplings to the Higgs boson.

CMS investigates the width of the top quark
Twenty years after its discovery at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab, interest in studying the top quark at the LHC is higher than ever.

ATLAS observes single top-quarks at 13 TeV
ATLAS has recently measured the total cross-sections of single top-quark and top-antiquark production via the t-channel exchange of virtual W bosons.
