Just curious.

Does anyone have the "inside scoop" about whether they have found any particle's yet beyond the Higgs at the LHC? By other particles, I'm talking about super-symmetry.

Thanks in advance,

Short answer, we need more data to verify a "suspicious" bump in the (diphoton?) spectrum.
See the High energy forum, there are at least 2 topics there with comments by 2 members that are knowledgeable to clarify some of the aspects.
