Higgs boson hints get stronger

The particle discovered with the Large Hadron Collider is “looking more and more like a Higgs boson”, say physicists at Cern, Europe's particle physics laboratory.

They have analysed two and a half times more data than was available when the discovery was announced in July last year. However, they cannot tell yet whether the boson corresponds to the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics, or whether it is one of several bosons predicted by other theories.
