Abstract
On 4 July
2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments operating at the CERN Large Hadron Collider announced
the
discovery of a new particle compatible with the Higgs boson, which is a crucial
piece for our understanding
of
fundamental physics and thus the structure and evolution of the universe.
This
Lecture describes the unprecedented instruments and challenges that have
allowed such an accomplishment,
the
physics meaning and relevance of this discovery, and the present understanding
of the properties of this very
special
particle.
