Is Particle Physics About to Crack Wide Open?

Hints of an unexpected new particle could be confirmed within day. And if it is, the Standard Model could be going down

Bump in Large Hadron Collider data has physicists electrified

In December, the ATLAS and CMS experiments reported what could be the first hint of a new massive particle that spits out two photons as it decays. Now, physicists are presenting their latest analyses, including a full investigation of this mysterious bump. Both experiments have come to the same conclusion -- the bump is still there.
