6 The Discovery of the Higgs Boson at the LHC
307
Acknowledgements The construction, and now the operation and exploitation, of the large and
complex ATLAS and CMS experiments have required the talents, the resources, and the dedication
of thousands of scientists, engineers and technicians worldwide. This paper is dedicated to all who
have worked on these experiments. The superb construction, and efficient operation of the LHC
accelerator and the WLCG computing are gratefully acknowledged.
The authors are greatly indebted to C. Seez for careful reading of this manuscript.
