Chasing the Higgs Boson
Why did it take almost 50 years to trace the origins of mass using the world's two largest detectors?
From theory to experiment, continuing at very high energy!
The final installment of the "trilogy" on particle physics :)

A great book I recommend (used in 4 episodes): The Adventure of the Large Hadron Collider - From the Big Bang to the Higgs Boson
Daniel Denegri, Claude Guyot, Andreas Hoecker and Lydia Roos

Also huge, but still very, very difficult in several places:
The Boson and the Mexican Hat - A New Grand Narrative of the Universe
Gilles Cohen-Tannoudji, Michel Spiro
