The man who first conceptualised the Higgs Boson particle talks to the author of the latest work on the science that led to the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Prof. Peter Higgs rarely makes public appearances to discuss the formulation of his theory on what some call The God Particle, but he is in excellent company. Prof. Frank Close has written a scintillating new history of the ideas that led to CERN and the current experiments that are edging closer to finding the Higgs Boson.
