From this Dec. 11th NY Times... Physicists Anxiously Await New Data on ‘God Particle’ High noon is approaching for the biggest manhunt in the history of physics. At 8 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday morning, scientists from CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, are scheduled to give a progress report on the search for the Higgs boson — infamously known as the “God particle” — whose discovery would vindicate the modern theory of how elementary particles get mass.

God (Particle) NOT Dead, just Missing In Action. From the NY Times... ‘Tantalizing Hints’ but No Direct Proof in Particle Search Physicists will have to keep holding their breath a little while longer. Two teams of scientists sifting debris from high-energy proton collisions in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, said Tuesday that they had recorded “tantalizing hints” — but only hints — of a long-sought subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, whose existence is a key to explaining why there is mass in the universe.
