On July 4, 2012 at CERN a press conference presented the preliminary results of two experiments, CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus), which confirmed the discovery of a boson that had the characteristics expected for the Higgs boson. Last wednesday, at the Moriond conference in La Thuile, Italy, additional data were presented obtained from those experiments that confirm that the particle discovered is really the Higgs boson.
