Guido Tonelli, spokesperson of another experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, known as CMS, gave the other main presentation. His team reported a most likely mass for the Higgs at between 115-127 GeV/c^2, with their results most compatible with a mass of 124 GeV/c^2, corresponding to roughly 123 times the mass of the hydrogen atom. Like the ATLAS team, which reported their results beforehand, they do not have enough statistics to declare a discovery.
My first post on the Higgs seminar is here :
Inside Science News Service will have a longer feature article a little later today on the Higgs with additional background and information.
