“It is with heavy hearts that we hear of the passing of the great Professor Peter Higgs. His work on the origin of mass is the keystone of our standard model of particles and forces. Understanding the particle he first predicted in 1964 will be the great mission of particle physics well into the latter half of this century. The Cambridge High Energy Group at the Cavendish Laboratory would like to offer our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.” ~ Professor Tina Potter and Harry Cliff
