Large Hadron Collider Sees Tantalizing Hint of Higgs Particle

By Geoff Brumfiel of Nature magazine For now, physicists are only willing to call them “excess events,” but fresh data from two experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are hinting at something unusual–and it could be the most sought-after particle in all of physics. Both ATLAS and the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiments are seeing an unusual surplus of events in a rough mass range of 130-150 gigaelectronvolts (energy and mass are used interchangeably in particle physics).
