Is There Life After The Standard Model?
Peter Woit: Discovery of a New Particle? Hints of a new particle. Except for the excitement surrounding first beams in the LHC, particle physics has been an all-too-quiet subject recently. It looks like that may be about to change, with a dramatic new result announced by the CDF experiment this evening, in a preprint entitled Study of multi-muon events produced in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. See Peter's post and links therein for details.
