Serious sites such as the BBC and Scientific American have begun to publish rumors circulating in the world of physics, ahead of a seminar expected tomorrow at CERN * A CERN spokesman cools the enthusiasm and says that the announcement will not talk about a discovery but will be interesting
The world of physics has been buzzing in recent days for the announcement that will take place today (Tuesday) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva. According to rumors, evidence has been discovered for the existence of the Higgs boson, a hypothetical elementary particle that is the source of the mass of all matter.
Theoretical physicist Grudon Cain of the University of Michigan in Ann Harbor tells Scientific American that he is excited by the possibility.
According to a statement from spokespeople for the Atlas and CMS experiments cited in Scientific American, the Higgs searchers from both experiments are scheduled to present their findings at a seminar today. James Gillis, CERN spokesman said that it is not a discovery announcement but the announcement is expected to be interesting.
The BBC sent the site's science editor to Geneva. In an interview with the British network, Prof. Steven Soldner-Rambould from the University of Manchester said that these are extraordinary results and added: "Within a year we will know almost certainly whether the Higgs particle exists, but it is unlikely that this will be a gift for the coming Christmas."

I updated with a new news

We need more study and more data. Given the outstanding performance of the LHC this year, we will not need to wait long for enough data and can look forward to solving this puzzle in 2012."

As stated in the CERN press release, the new ATLAS and CMS results are "sufficient to make significant progress in the search for the Higgs boson, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the elusive Higgs. Tantalizing hints have been seen by both experiments in the same mass region, but these are not yet strong enough to claim a discovery.”
there is something?
I didn't see a link to the broadcast but I saw that at half past four they will issue a press release with pictures, I'll update as soon as I can, come back around five just to be safe.
I learned from authorized sources that the seminar will be broadcast from 15:00

Hope it's true. It's time for something to happen
