gan to fly in the community. Many of these came from the experimenters themselves. I have a part-time position at Australian National University in Canberra, and the International Con- ference on High Energy Physics was going to be in held in Melbourne in July of 2012. Melbourne has a big LHC contingent,

s would leave only the photon left over as a massless gauge boson. But there's more. By virtue of the gauge symmetry he introduced, Weinberg's new Higgs particle would also interact with electrons, and when the condensate formed, the effect would be to give electrons a mass as well as the W and Z pa

a revolutionary. But reluctant revolutionary he was, although, due to some shortsighted journal editors, he almost didn't get the chance. In 1960 Higgs had just taken up his post and had been asked to serve on the committee that coordinated the first Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics.
