Encouraging news from CERN

| 5 July 2012

We at the ILC Research Directorate are all thrilled with the announcement from CERN this week that a Higgs-like particle has been discovered. The Higgs particle has been a target of our experiments for over decades, and the affirming news that has finally arrived from the LHC is a great step forward. I wish to […]

From Fermilab: Fermilab experiments narrow allowed mass range for Higgs boson

| 29 July 2010

Batavia, Ill.—New constraints on the elusive Higgs particle are more stringent than ever before. Scientists of the CDF and DZero collider experiments at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermilab revealed their latest Higgs search results today (July 26) at the International Conference on High Energy Physics, held in Paris from July 22-28. Their results rule […]
