Re: Rumours
Hearing a rumour that both independent experiments are now at 4 standard deviations. Together it may mean that they are now at the magic 5 sigma. Any thoughts, gossip etc?

Picture George Clooney (the particle) walking down a street with a gaggle of photographers (the Higgs field) clustered around him. An average guy on the same street (a photon) gets no attention from the paparazzi and gets on with his day. The Higgs particle is the signature of the field - an eyelash of one of the photographers.
