This track is an example of simulated data modelled for the CMS detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, which will begin taking data in 2008.  This graphics shows a possible signature that a Higgs boson particle may leave in the detector.  As the Higgs will be very short-lived, it cannot be observed directly but rather its production is inferred from the products of its decay. Credit: CERN
