Today, Thursday, March 21, 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland solemnly celebrates the special award ceremony, the Basic Physics Prize and honors three famous scientific collectives at the European Nuclear Research Center. Europe, referred to as CERN, consists of scientists from two projects on ATLAS and CMS detectors and the LHC (Hadron Interchange Acceleration Accelerator).

Basic Physics Prize Fund is supported by Russian Technology Investor Yuri Milner. He financed 27 million US dollars, in July 2012, to set up this fund to further enhance human understanding of the universe we live in.

The Fund offers four different awards, of which three are awarded annually to physicists selected through the nomination process. The fourth prize is the Basic Physics Prize for 'special cases' that can be awarded at any time.

The Higgs boson hypothesis (subatomic hypothesis) was introduced 50 years ago in the famous Standard Model theory by British physicist Peter Higgs and others. With great and resounding achievements, discovering the Higgs boson in the laboratory and announcing at CERN on July 4, 2012, the Fundamental Fund for Physical Prize on 11/12/2012 announced that, one The award comes with a US $ 3 million special "case" , which will give the leading scientists in their efforts to lead to the discovery of the Higgs boson in 3 parts with merit. The largest in CERN is ATLAS, CMS and LHC.

The scientists named in this ceremony "exceptions" are: Lyn Evans, Peter Jenni, Michel Della Negra, Fabiola Gianotti, Jim Virdee, Guido Tonelli, and Joe Incandela.

At the solemn award ceremony today, Thursday, March 21, 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland, in addition to the introductory speech of the CERN General Director, is expected to involve famous artists. the world, actor Morgan Freeman, singer Sarah Brightman and pianist Denis Matsuev.
