One would think that by now, apart from big game like the Higgs boson, high-energy physicists would have bagged nearly all of the beasts on the particle horizon. There are still a few trophies to be taken, among them a group of baryons, each of which comprises one strange quark, one b quark (meaning bottom or beauty), and a third quark. When the third member of the trio is an up or down quark, the particle is known as a Ξb baryon. The Tevatron at Fermilab observed particle decays consistent with some of these states, but a full accounting was not available. Now, in a paper in Physical Review Letters, the CMS team at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN report their observation of a new particle that they conclude is likely to be the Ξb*0


Whatever that means. biggrin

Well basically they discovered a new baryon, an important and theorized particle, but it's not the fabled Higgs boson, yet.

Wow, the Ξb and Ξb*0 should &#32047 the #dj9328 and &#3598gn*43.6!

Going by past experience I think what this new particle will tell them is, they need a bigger machine.

Hoho, 'tis true! Still, I think it is an admiral quest.

Maybe the Higgs is found? Stay tuned, according to the following article/report.

Announcement of the Higgs next week?

Yes, but that word "maybe" is a bit discouraging to me. You know, just "maybe"
Oh baby, maybe, maybe...

My best regards, Kodiak.
