A Particle Consistent with the Higgs Boson Observed with the ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider

I have held many positions of responsibility within the ATLAS experiment management, including membership of its Executive Board (EB) since March 2011 which is "the main body for directing the execution of the ATLAS project". I led the silicon microstrip sensor development and forward silicon tracker module production which provides a key component of the ATLAS tracking capability. Since March 2011, when I was elected to the 25 member EB (the most senior committee of this 3000 physicist collaboration), the experiment has established the existence of a particle having the properties of the long sought Higgs boson. The work described in this paper is the culmination of over 20 year of preparation where I have been contributing from even before the EAGLE and ASCOT collaborations merged to form ATLAS in 1992.
