CERN, Europe’s particle-physics laboratory, is taking a cautious approach on persistent rumors (see, for example, the ViXra blog) that two experiments at its Large Hadron Collider — ATLAS and the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) — have independently found evidence for the Higgs particle with a mass of 125 giga­electronvolts (GeV) — right in the ballpark predicted by the standard model of particle physics, Nature News Blog reports.
