Rumours are circulating of a potential Higgs observation at a high 3.5 sigma confidence level at LHC, CERN. More concrete news should come in a few days. All eyes on the December 13th conference.

The very latest of the data collected by the LHC super collider may reveal the ultimate fate of the Higgs. The joint results come out this Tuesday! Hold your breath.

The Higgs search is nearing an end and the wonderful news is that the mass ranges have been squeezed real tight now. It’s now or never and the news is going to come in a few days!

This is a layman’s guide to understanding what to make of the LHCb result that came out today. Why is the CP violation result so very exciting? Read on for a simplified version of the physics involved.

Speaking at the Lepton Photon Conference, 2011, being held at TIFR, Mumbai, director of CERN, Rolf Heuer speaks on the road ahead after LHC. He also mentions the current goals for the LHC, saying that 2012 will be a boom year for particle physics with new physics around the corner.

Here is a small glossary of explanation of the various terms you’re going to ear in the coming week. Understand what the Higgs is, what spontaneous symmetry breaking is in plain language.

The recent results, from the LHC runs in 2010 and 2011 have excluded huge probable mass ranges for the Higgs boson. This is both exciting and disappointing.

Fermilab claims a discovery of a new particle, the Xi-sub-b baryon. This time it is sure of the detection!

The ALICE collaboration strengthened their Indian connection by setting up a full-fledged center in India at VECC, India

Fermilab has confirmed that the earlier detection, supposedly of a new particle, has neither been corroborated by their other detector, nor has it survived critical data analysis. The new particle claim has been rejected.

The results of the LHC run in the last two weeks of 2010 have been released by CERN and it has exciting news about Quark Gluon Plasma.

The LHC has set a new record for the number of bunches in a beam and the luminosity. This is nowhere near the theoretical maximum, but is a significant step nonetheless.

CERN has announced that the ‘riddle of the Higgs boson’ might be solved within the end of next year. Either it will be detected or its existence ruled out.

A report has been released from ATLAS, CERN, which, after extensive analysis, has put to rest all rumors about any detection of the Higgs Boson – the God Particle, which is supposed to endow all particles in the Universe with mass.

CERN scientists trapped the dangerously slippery anti-matter for a record 1000 seconds (or 17 minutes), a huge achievement in terms of anti-matter confinement.
