ATLAS and CMS discovered the Higgs boson with about 10 fb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity, a tenth of the 100 fb⁻¹ their own technical design reports said would be needed to guarantee discovery

Benjamin W. Lee popularized the term "Higgs boson" in a 1972 ICHEP review talk, eight years after the original theoretical papers

The 1964 symmetry-breaking mechanism was discovered independently by three groups, but only Higgs's papers explicitly predicted a massive scalar particle

John Ellis, Mary K. Gaillard, and Dimitri Nanopoulos undertook the first systematic study of Higgs boson phenomenology in 1975, and its own conclusion discouraged large experimental searches at the time

LEP shut down at the end of 2000 with a Higgs lower-mass limit of 114.4 GeV, after an unconfirmed ALEPH excess near 115 GeV — and the Higgs, discovered in 2012 near 125 GeV, was never reachable by LEP
