Jessica Griggs: This chapter in the Higgs boson story must have been a bit of a roller-coaster ride. Did the announcement by the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, on July 4 take you by surprise?
Peter Higgs: The week before, I was at a physics summer school in Sicily. I didn't take any Swiss francs with me, and my travel insurance policy expired the day I was supposed to fly back to Edinburgh. As the week went on, rumors began to fly, but it wasn't until the Saturday before the announcement that we knew for certain that something was up. We got a phone call from John Ellis, the former head of theoretical physics at CERN, saying, "Tell Peter that if he doesn't come to CERN on Wednesday, he will very probably regret it." I said, very well then, I'll go.
