The God Particle | Christoph Paus on Higgs Boson, CERN, and CMS

Professor Christoph Paus, a key figure in the discovery of the Higgs Boson at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, discusses his journey in high-energy physics, the challenges of leading large international collaborations, and the future of particle physics. As one of the co-conveners of the CMS Higgs physics group during the historic discovery, Paus provides unique insights into how the detection of this elusive particle was achieved through careful experimental design, data analysis, and team coordination.

He explains the Standard Model of particle physics, the significance of the Higgs field and boson, and explores current mysteries like dark matter and antimatter asymmetry. The conversation also covers future collider technologies, from circular and linear accelerators to speculative space-based systems, and the ongoing quest to probe higher energy frontiers.
