the higgs boson is tiny and can be found in the presence of other particles. scientists at the organization for nuclear research known as san used the particle accelerator to track it down. they accelerated two beams of protons close to light speed and then fired them in different direction, down 27 kilometer long circular tunnel. the protons smashed into each other creating numerous biparticles. scientist analyzed the data and found evidence of a new particle consistent with the higgs boson. nhk world. >> japanese firms and scientists played a part in the discovery. they rejoiced over the nobel win. now we have the details. >> reporter: a japanese company succeeded in creating the 40 kilometer wire from a 1 meter copper tube. this was used to make electromagnetic coils to control protons flying around tracks close to the speed of light inside the exelerator. another firm worked on eliminating the electronic resistance by creating a system to cool the wire down to minus 271 degrees. about 100 japanese scientists worked to develop a way of analyzing the huge am

they suggested that a subatomic particle known assed can th as the higgs boson gives mass or substance to everything we know. >> reporter: they've sung his name, and they've smashed subatomic particles against each other to prove the higgs boson particle that he theorized 50 years ago must exist actually does. and now in stockholm, they've given the biggest prize in science to the man who gave the parl his name. >> professor peter higs. >> peter higgs did show up in july last year when scientists at the hadron collider outside geneva confirmed his long-held theory that there was a so-called god particle that explained why the universe held together. >> for me it's really an incredible thing that happened in my lifetime. >> reporter: the theory is that the higgs boson particle acts as a kind of nuclear glue that allows the stars, the planets, and everything else-- including us-- to exist. it took the 17 miles of tunnel and $10 billion of investment and the world's biggest collider to prove it. but on the day of his nobel triumph, higgs, a private man, was as elusive as the particle that

>> sure, so the higgs boson isa particle that was theorized that would have given matter in the universe mass. physicists have been trying to figure out why is it that you and i don't fly apart? why do we have mass? how do we hold together? and they, three people, there was a sub atomic particle action where the sub atomic particles move to an it field created by this higgs boson that imbued them with party, and collected matter. that was the idea. >> adam, i'm not sure if i'm asking questions in the right order, but here we go. >> sure. >> what is the standard model? >> so, the reason that theorize that this particle exist because there is this standard model of physics that understand the basic building blocks that make up you, me, and everyone around us. they have a bunch of piece piece created but they never had this one piece of the puzzle. imagine you have a bunch of receipts missing. you know what the total is, but you don't have the receipts. they were trying to find that missing line of math that explains why you and i exist and have mass. >> so what is the predicted fundamental

they were reworded for their work on the theory of the higgs boson. now i next finish and on my their discovery was so important. >> we always thought that mass and matter is the same thing but with the prediction and discovery, even though he died in 2011, the thing is that mass is actually generated by the interaction of particles with a field. this means that it does not have a mass per se but it is only coming from the interaction and this is just a tremendous breakthrough of how you imagine things to be, how matter is formed. it is not what we imagine beforehand. >> the writing was on the wall land as part of the restructuring plan, alcatel lucent has announced the plan to cut 10,000 jobs. hundreds will be made here in france where the president says he will try to limit the impact of the plan. >> outside of the alcatel lucent land northern france, stunned staff gathered to hear the news, almost 1000 will be made redundant. this site is on the chopping block to be sold off. >> until this morning, we really knew nothing. it hurt. >> they gave us f

. >> it was 1964 when he discovered a subatomic particle now called the higgs boson.but only in julyçó last year did scientists manage to make the so-called god particle and so prove it existed. the vindication of his theory 50 years ago brought a tear to his eye. days after that, he was asked if he might win the nobel prize. >> i don't know. i don't have close friends on the nobel committee. (laughter) >> reporter: he'd be the first to give credit to the scientists at the world's biggest at tom smasher at certain near geneva whose experiments found the particle he predicted all those years ago. peter higgs and fran waugh englert will be receiving the medal in about two months time. but it's a big strange that the thousands of scientists at cerne who proved that theçó particle they predicted actually existed will get no recognition of at all from the nobel committee. that's because this medal can only go to individual individuals. after all the publicity last year, today he was shy of the cameras. >> he's always been rather modest and actually looks to give other peop
