Search of Higgs Boson - Birth of God Particle in CMS Experiment at Large Hadron Collider

The Standard Model explains current understanding about the behavior of subatomic particles and interactions between them. The subatomic particles acquire mass by interacting with the Higgs field via Higgs Boson. An effort in making an experiment to discover the Higgs Boson is summarized in this book. The search analysis strategy for discovering one of such particle signature is also discussed. The complete dividend of the hard work is ultimately achieved when Higgs boson was discovered. This lead to Nobel Prize in Physics in the year 2013.
