Higgs Increasingly Likely

It turns out to be increasingly probable that the elementary particle discovered in the past year is indeed the predicted Higgs boson. This is the result of new investigations conducted with the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator at CERN under participation of the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY. However, further research is required to clarify whether the Higgs boson actually corresponds to the standard model of particle physics or to a different theory. The new particle can be created in high energy collisions, yet this happens only very rarely. This makes researching it particularly time-consuming and research is likely to continue for many years to come.
