Higgs boson’s properties clarified by fresh LHC data

Science News : When the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012, researchers at CERN were already looking forward to the next runs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). According to Tiziano Camporesi of the CMS experiment at the LHC, the current run has already begun clarifying the presence or lack of variations in the production and decay of the particle. The higher collision energies have provided hints but not yet proof of a theorized process in which the Higgs and two top quarks are produced together. Evidence for the Higgs decaying into bottom quarks, which should occur in more than half of Higgs decays, is still hard to isolate because of the many other ways in which bottom quarks are produced.
