Scientists from all over the country were at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics in Kolkata on Wednesday, watching a live telecast from Geneva and cheering Indians’ contribution to the discovery of a particle consistent with the fabled Higgs boson. There was cheer also in Mumbai’s Tata Institute Fundamental Research. Saranya Ghosh, 23, and Rajdeep M Chatterjee, 24, PhD students at TIFR, were back from CERN in Geneva only days ago and rejoiced in the “proud moment for us all”.
