High fives all around, but after the initial wave of excitement, scientists cautioned that there's more work to do before they can make a positive identification of the new particle's characteristics. That caveat aside, CERN researchers -- and scientists around the world -- believe they are closing in on their long-pursued grail. The strong evidence unveiled by CERN suggests that the likelihood that this observation was connected to a statistical fluctuation is less than 1 percent.
