A Toroidal Large Hadron Collider Apparatus (ATLAS) has provided solid evidence that the particle discovered in 2012 behaved even more like the Higgs boson. EU-funded physicists took a leading role in establishing that it decays into tau leptons.
For the EU-funded team, discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and compact muon solenoid experiments at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) was the beginning of a quest to find out what the new particle was. An important property that they tried to determine was how it decays.
