"Higgs Boson, the particle that could explain the creation and existence of all mass (or, as we like to call it \"stuff\"), what some call the \"God Particle,\" has shown itself  \u2014 maybe.\nThe European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN this morning unveiled its preliminary findings from Higgs Boson-related experiments conducted in its Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The collider essentially smashes atoms together at high speeds and then measures the output. The event, which was Webcast to the world, was highly technical physics lecture and full of charts and measurements (we've collected some of them for the physicists in our audience). \nFinding this elusive particle has proven challenging for the scientific body. To detect Higgs Boson, the LHC has to be incredibly sensitive, partly because the particle could be hidden in a \"low mass region.\" According to the scientists, \"Every single channel, particularly in the low mass region, brings very important information.\"\nAmong CERN's findings:\nThe scientists were not able to exclude the presences of SM Higgs and, more importantly, they measured \"a modest excess  of events\" in five independent channels. This is notable because the excess is consistent with Higgs theory. Unfortunately, the difference is so small that scientists cannot offer conclusive evidence of Higgs Boson particle existence.\nFor now, CERN, which will deliver its final report \u2014 and answer \u2014 early next year, is only willing to say that researchers now see \"either a background fluctuation\" or findings that are consistent \"with the presence of SM Higgs Boson.\" \n\n\nCERN's Higgs Boson Presentation Highlights\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 3\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 4\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 5\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 6\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 7\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 8\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 9\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 10\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 11\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 12\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 13\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 14\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 15\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 16\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 17\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 18\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 19\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 21\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 22\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 23\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 24\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 25\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 26\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 27\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 28\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 30\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 31\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 32\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 33\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 34\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 35\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 36\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 37\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHiggs 39\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
