Abstract

November 2000 was a very busy and hectic month at CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics on the French–Swiss border near Geneva. Researchers at the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider – the world's biggest accelerator – were apparently close to discovering the elusive Higgs boson when CERN's management decided to dismantle the collider. They took the decision despite strong requests from the large user community that LEP should be kept open for another year.
