The particle at the end of the universe / Sean Carroll.

Summary:

The Higgs boson is the particle that more than six thousand scientists have been looking for using the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and highest energy particle accelerator, which lies in a tunnel 17 miles in circumference, as deep as 575 feet beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. The multinational and multibillion-dollar quest to solve the mystery of mass has now cost over $9 billion and required the collaboration of engineers from more than one hundred countries.
