Fermilab Experiment Hints At Multiple Higgs Particles
krou writes "Recent results from the Dzero experiment at the Tevatron particle accelerator suggest that those looking for a single Higgs boson particle should be looking for five particles, and the data gathered may point to new laws beyond the Standard Model. 'The DZero results showed much more significant "asymmetry" of matter and anti-matter — beyond what could be explained by the Standard Model. Bogdan Dobrescu, Adam Martin and Patrick J Fox from Fermilab say this large asymmetry effect can be accounted for by the existence of multiple Higgs bosons. They say the data point to five Higgs bosons with similar masses but different electric charges. Three would have a neutral charge and one each would have a negative and positive electric charge. This is known as the two-Higgs doublet model.'" There's more detail in this writeup from Symmetry Magazine, a joint publication of SLAC and Fermilab. Here's the paper on the arXiv.
But can we really trust these people? They seem like a bunch of bosons.

Ahh, don't get your Higgs in a bunch; these people are SCIENTISTS! Scientists can do no wrong!
patience dude... patience... once we get time travel out of it, it doesn't matter how long it took right?
So if the Higgs particle is the 'God particle', does this mean that polytheism is the way to go? Yay Hinduism?
My other comment is funny
I think that one over there is a boson's mate.
like being able to build ZPM's?
What would be the point of that? People in the future would already know the outcome.
"Back off, man -- I'm a scientist."
I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive.
You oughta be lepton for saying such a thing.

Is your position fermion that?
General Relativity: Space-time tells matter where to go; Matter tells space-time what shape to be.

I am an Australian so I already know the outcome of games involving my team but that wouldn't stop me from watching the game.

Good thing, too, or they would have built it in the wrong country. Everyone knows The Higgs be in Scotland.
pull off on one of the access roads to take photographs of their small herd of bison
Did you see the Higgs bison?

This thread became strange very quickly. Still, so many charming jokes.
By the way, how do you fix the casing on an LCD monitor at CERN? Put some gluon!
