The LHC Finds a Tantalizing Hint of New Physics
ytene writes: As reported by the BBC, a team at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are reporting a hint of new physics thanks to analysis of results from exploring the so-called beauty quark. Results from the LHCb are currently standing at three-sigma -- offering a roughly one-in-one-thousand chance that the measurements reported are a statistical coincidence, still considered short of the so-called "gold-standard" of five-sigma [in which there is a one in 3.5 million chance of the result being a fluke]. If further analysis and experiments confirm these results, they might point the way to an as-yet undiscovered particle, hints of something beyond the Standard Model.
