Eight months after announcing the discovery of a new particle "consistant with Higgs boson," scientists have announced that the particle is "looking more and more like a Higgs boson." In the monthsPhysicists announced today (March 14) that a particle discovered at the world's largest atom smasher last year is a Higgs boson, a long-sought particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass. Discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHCAfter almost a year of suspense as physicists at CERN sifted through figures, parsed data, and double and triple checked their math, this morning saw the team behind the discovery of the Higgs boson finally confident enoughData analysis suggests that the "Higgs-like" particle produced by the Large Hadron Collider in July, 2012 is indeed a Higgs boson.The elusive particle, called a Higgs boson, was predicted in 1964 to help fill in our understanding of the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang.
