Physics Gossip from CERN

Google Tech Talk March 22, 2013 (more info below) Presented by Caitlin Malone (CERN), Jens Dopke (CERN) ABSTRACT Last week at the Moriond physics conferences, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN confirmed that the particle they discovered last year is, in fact, a Higgs boson. If it walked like a duck and quacked like a duck in July 2012, why did it take until March 2013 to confirm that it is a duck? And why, for that matter, was a duck theorized in 1963 only discovered last year?
