Experimental physicist Mingming Yang presents an overview of her work at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), culminating in the identification of the Higgs boson particle. In parallel, she explores her journey of self-discovery and the significance of science research to humankind. Throughout her experiences in a collaborative research environment, Mingming contemplates the role of the individual, the value of particle physics, and the beauty of nature. Mingming obtained PhD from MIT physics department last Septermber. Her work was searching for the Higgs boson through its decay into two photons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN, with the Compact Muon Solenoid detector (CMS) Higgs to Two Photon Working Group.
