Scientists from the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) reported in July that they had found a particle that was probably the elusive Higgs boson. Those results have now cleared peer review with the publication of two papers in the journal Physics Letters B (here and here). Brown professors David Cutts, Ulrich Heintz, Greg Landsberg, and Meenakshi Narain are among the authors of the report from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) group, for which Landsberg serves as physics coordinator.
