Enormous efforts at accelerators and experiments all around the world have gone into the search for the long-sought Higgs boson, postulated almost five decades ago. This search has culminated in the discovery of a Higgs-like particle by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in 2012. Instead of describing this widely celebrated discovery, in this article I will rather focus on earlier attempts to discover the Higgs boson, or to constrain the range of possible masses by interpreting precise data in the context of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particular, I will focus on the experimental efforts carried out during the last two decades, at the Large Electron Positron collider, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, and the Tevatron collider, Fermilab, near Chicago, IL, USA.
全世界的加速器和实验都在进行着巨大的努力，以寻找五十年来一直苦苦寻找的希格斯玻色子。这项搜索最终导致了 2012 年 CERN 的大型强子对撞机中的 ATLAS 和 CMS 实验发现了一种类希格斯粒子。在本文中，我将不描述这一广受欢迎的发现，而是将重点放在更早的尝试发现希格斯玻色子上，或者通过在粒子物理标准模型的背景下解释精确数据来限制可能的质量范围。特别是，我将集中讨论在过去二十年中，在瑞士日内瓦的大型正负电子对撞机（LEP）和美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥附近的费米实验室（Tevatron）对撞机上进行的实验努力。
