Hi everyone! I just received the following news feed from Scientific American about a potential new particle showing up at the LHC not included in the Standard Model.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/a...he-lhc-thrilling-and-confounding-physicists1/

I was wondering if anyone here on PF is part of the LHC team, or has been paying close attention, as this is quite exciting news (even if somewhat premature). Any comments?
