Three years ago when the Large Hadron Collider was switched on at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern), few people outside his field had heard of Peter Higgs.

I don't think I had heard of Prof. Higgs or his boson before the LHC was switched on but the BBC's profile and the linked Q&A seem to be reasonable introductions for the layman. For more technical details, Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_mechanism) is probably a good starting point.
