Later today (2pm Swiss time) we will hear from the two largest LHC Experiments, ATLAS and CMS, about their latest analyses of the 13 TeV data. There have been some fluctuations which a suggestive of a new particle at a Mass of 2000 GeV (for comparison, the heaviest known particle so far, the Top quark, has 172 GeV) which decays into two W or Z bosons. If this turned out to be true, which is far far from certain, it would be a very exciting discovery. Particles decaying in this way are quite unusual and could lead to great new insights.
