Chinese link in missing-link breakthrough

Top: This undated image made available by the European Organization for Nuclear Research shows a typical candidate event including two high-energy photons whose energy (depicted by red towers) is measured in the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter. The yellow lines are the measured tracks of other particles produced in the collision. The pale blue volume shows the CMS crystal calorimeter barrel. Scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher claimed the discovery of a new subatomic particle on July 4, calling it "consistent" with the long-sought Higgs boson - popularly known as the "God particle" - that helps explain what gives all matter in the universe size and shape.

Chinese scientists participated in the building of the collider that plays an important role in the finding of the Higgs boson. Provided to China Daily
