Finding the Higgs particle became one of the largest and most expensive
experiments humankind has ever undertaken.

In this third and final part of the presentation, I focus on how Higgs
particles are created at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and how they
are detected.

The discovery of the Higgs mechanism was driven by the desire to unify
two fundamentally different forces of nature — the electromagnetic force
and the weak nuclear force — which act over very different ranges.

This is the second of a three-part presentation, continuing from Part I.

In this first of a three-part presentation, I describe how the presence
of the Higgs field hides the fundamental similarity between the
electromagnetic and weak forces, and explain why such a particle must
exist in our description of the fundamental laws of nature.
