(Phys.org) -- The two teams working (and causing headlines around the world) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider CMS and ATLAS, have both uploaded papers describing their work in searching for evidence of the particle that is believed to explain why matter sticks together, the elusive Higgs Boson, to the preprint server arXiv. In their paper, ATLAS has bumped up its sigma level of certainty from 5.0 to 5.9 while CMS has kept its level at the 4.9 to 5 range.
