In 2016, the international flagship project of particle physics, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, made a big step forward. Thanks to its record integrated luminosity at the highest energy, particle physicists are now able to scrutinise the Higgs boson, discovered in 2012, in great detail, trying to find answers to some of the most pressing questions: What is the origin of mass? What comes beyond the Standard model of particle physics? What is dark matter?
