Scientists from CERN’s CMS and ATLAS experiments have presented new results that further elucidate the particle discovered in 2012. H -> 2e2mu candidate event recorded by ATLAS on June 18, 2012. Muon tracks are colored red, electron tracks and clusters in the LAr calorimeter are colored green. The larger inset shows a zoom into the tracking detector. The smaller inset shows a zoom into the vertex region, indicating that the 4 leptons originate...
