LHC Discovers New Particle That Looks Like the Higgs Boson

Posted by Unknown on from the and-it-didn't-consume-the-earth dept.

The wait is over: new submitter Roger W Moore (among many, many other submitters) writes "The ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN have just announced the discovery of a new particle which is consistent with a Standard Model Higgs boson. There is still a lot of work to do to confirm whether this really is the Higgs, and if so whether it is a Standard Model Higgs, but this is a major result."

    They "discover" it by looking exactly where is predicted? That is like me getting on an Air France jet, and "discovering" Paris.
