HIGGS

• His unparalleled legacy, epitomised by the discovery of the Higgs boson, continues to profoundly shape the future of particle physics like no other discovery before it.
• When Higgs was born in 1929, our understanding of matter was completely different.
• Physicists had developed a simple model of matter with three fundamental, or elementary, particles (those that can’t be broken down into smaller particles).
• At the time Higgs began working on his ideas in the 1960s, the question of how elementary particles acquired mass was a central issue in physics.

• However, for a theory that should explain mass, a viable solution couldn’t depend on a specific medium or material.
• Later, Higgs and other theorists developed a model that overcame this difficulty.
• On July 4 2012, images of Higgs, moved to tears by the announcement, went around the world.

• In the decade since its discovery, many of these interactions have been observed at the LHC.
• If current measurements of that particle are correct, the universe isn’t stable in its current state.
• To answer these questions, Europe, the US and China have proposed plans for building new particle colliders focused on studying the Higgs boson.
• It would be entirely fitting if Peter Higgs’ legacy, which transformed our understanding of particle physics, also transformed our approach to research.

• In addition, Lenzing participated for the first time in the SAC Higgs FEM verification to assess the environmental impact of product manufacturing at its sites and achieved excellent positive results.
• According to the rating agency MSCI, Lenzing continues to lead the way among global companies in terms of governance structures.
• The confirmation of the “AA” rating from MSCI ESG enables Lenzing to further reduce its interest expense.
• I am therefore particularly pleased about the MSCI rating and that we as the Lenzing Group have also achieved excellent results in the SAC Higgs FEM,” says Stephan Sielaff, CEO of the Lenzing Group.

• World Wide Technology (WWT), a global technology solutions provider, today announced partnerships with PGA TOUR players Ben Griffin and Harry Higgs.
• The sponsorship of Griffin and Higgs will include the two up-and-coming talents wearing the WWT logo on their apparel at all PGA TOUR events throughout the duration of their multi-year partnerships.
• “We are excited to have Harry and Ben join the WWT Team,” said Matt Horner, Executive Vice President, WWT.
• “Harry has one of the best personalities on the PGA TOUR, but beyond his jovial nature he has a fierce determination to compete and improve.
