Getting started
Went to scour the local library for research material last week. My initial hopes were not very high seeing as though it is quite a specific subject area but there was an abundance of material. Found 3 books and one other which incorporates how relativity is applied in the hunt for the Higgs' boson. I will probably start reading through and making notes sometime this week, starting with "Why does E=mc^2?: (And why should we care?)", by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw, since it is a bit more 'user friendly' in its approach to explaining scientific concepts and also that it is not 'Higgs' specific but only provides a basic understanding and shows how relativity is applied to the research at CERN.

Glad to see you are making progress with your research Richard and that there seems to be enough material to act as a good starting point for you.
