No more world powers fighting each other for word domination, only peace where all girls must wear "mimis" as the new world headdress, all schoolgirls must wear zettai ryouiki, all guys must go for Gundam/VF pilot training, all males are to treat their girlfriends and wives like pets and not physically or emotionally abuse them, and there is a compulsory cosplay every weekend.
Anyway, did that experiment yield the legendary Higgs boson?

Sorry, it wasn't an otaku forum. Suffice to say that one of the guys on the detector team has other types of discussions about the delivery of high velocity projectiles.
As to finding out anything about the Higgs Boson one way or another, it will likely be quite a while. They generate several petabytes per second (!!) of data. Since there's presently no way to store data at that rate, they have processing systems to do some basic analysis in order to discard most of that data. There is still a huge amount left, though, which they'll pass on to an enormous distributed computing network that will chew on it for a good long time. If it's there, though, we should notice it from the get-go... Once the data is analyzed.
There will be more collisions, and more twiddling of thumbs while each of those experiments is analyzed. Suffice to say we might be waiting a bit.
