3 When one accelerates a particle It does not necesserily go much faster Its mass increases E = m c 2 In an interaction, it can transform its energy into massive particles one transforms energy into mass 4

53 Event recorded with the CMS detector in 2012 at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of the SM Higgs boson to a pair of photons (dashed yellow lines and green towers). Full yellow lines represent the reconstructed trajectories of the charged particles produced in addition to the two photons in the same collision. The event could also be due to known standard model background processes.

54 Event recorded with the CMS detector in 2012 at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of the SM Higgs boson to a pair of Z bosons, one of which subsequently decays to a pair of electrons (green lines and green towers) and the other Z decays to a pair of muons
