Higgs boson resurfaces in LHC data

The Higgs appeared in the second run of the LHC about twice as fast as it did in the first. The Higgs boson is peeking out of the new data collected during the second run of the Large Hadron Collider, scientists reported today at the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Chicago. The Higgs boson is a short-lived particle that transforms into a cascade of more stable particles immediately after it is produced. Because scientists cannot measure the Higgs directly, they look instead at...
