Fermilab is this close to discovering a brand new subatomic particle

io9 writes Fermilab is this close to discovering a brand new subatomic particle "So just what is this new particle, assuming that's actually what it is? We know it's not the elusive Higgs boson, because its signature doesn't even remotely match what the Higgs would do at that energy level. The current best guess is that it's some sort of new gauge boson, or perhaps a pair made up of the well-understood W bosons and some other mysterious partner."
