Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern, the European particle physics centre near Geneva, have reported strong evidence for the existence of the elusive Higgs boson.
The announcement was made at a Cern seminar on 4 July as representatives of the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented the latest results in the roughly 45-year long search for the particle. Both experiments reported evidence for the presence of a so-far undiscovered particle—very likely the Higgs—in the mass region around 125-126 GeV, which is the measure of the mass of a particle.
