Perhaps Horn was in search of the Higgs Boson. It would be his holy grail in his field of study. The Higgs Field is in the shape of a Mexican hat. There is a prop of a colorful figure wearing a Mexican hat. The field is pictured at the bottom in the link.

One of the theories to create the Higgs Boson is to use Gluon Fusion.

"Gluon fusion: If the collided particles are hadrons such as the proton or antiproton – as is the case in the LHC and Tevatron – then it is most likely that two of the gluons binding the hadron together collide. The easiest way to produce a Higgs particle is if the two gluons combine to form a loop of virtual quarks. Since the coupling of particles to the Higgs boson is proportional to their mass, this process is more likely for heavy particles. In practice it is enough to consider the contributions of virtual top and bottom quarks (the heaviest quarks). This process is the dominant contribution at the LHC and Tevatron being about ten times more likely than any of the other processes".

I also think the LHC or CERN? is pictured on his corkboard too.
