The Higgs boson may have been found !
AND RESULTED IN THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR PHYSICS 2013 !

CERN announced on the 4^th July 2012 that the elementary particle known as Higgs boson, which was predicted tens of years ago within the standard model of particle physics, has been detected with 2 different spectrometers. The statistical confidence is about 4.9 (~99.99994%).

These are properties of the found (possibly) Higgs boson:

Mass:	~ 2.25 * 10^-25 kg (125.3 ± 0.6) GeV/c^2
Spin:	0
Electric charge:	0

Note:
The results presented on 4^th July 2012 were labelled as “preliminary” as they are based on data collected in 2011 & 2012. However, the 2012 data is still under analysis. The scientists from CERN plan to confirm the measurements in the next some months, after having analysed the data completely.
