LHC has already produced more than twice as much data in 2016 as in 2015

Ars Technica : From July to November 2015, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produced just over 4 inverse femtobarns of data. In its current run, which began in May, the LHC has already produced 10 fb-1. With several more months to go, LHC scientists expect to receive three times as much data this year as last year. The increase in data should help researchers to verify whether the hint of a new particle in last year’s data was an actual signal or just noise. The 2016 data haul could also help researchers to statistically rule out a variety of theorized particles and show major flaws in the models that predict them. On a more concrete level, the data should provide significantly more information about already discovered particles that we still don’t know much about, such as the Higgs boson.
