Very interesting.....
Scientists narrow hunt for 'God' particle.
snip~
The latest data show that the mass of the Higgs boson — popularly referred to as the "God particle" — probably falls in the lower end of the spectrum of mass that can be produced by smashing protons together in the huge Large Hadron Collider (http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/Large+Hadron+Collider), researchers from two independent teams said Tuesday.
The two teams said their data indicates the particle itself may have a mass of between roughly 114 and 130 billion electron volts. One billion electron volts is roughly the mass of a proton. The most likely mass of the Higgs boson is around 124 to 126 billion electron volts, the teams said.
