I’m not so sure they will find it. The Higgs that is.
To paraphrase Bill Clinton, "It depends on what the definition of 'find' is." The positron was "found" by its particle track in a bubble chamber - an electron bending the wrong way. The neutrino was "found" as a missing track, required to be there by conservation of momentum and energy - corroborated of course in a multitude of interactions.
Then we moved on to the Psi particle with a lifetime of 7e-21 seconds, so don't be lookin' for no tracks. This discovery consisted in a "hump" in the cross section of an interaction as a function of energy - a "resonant energy". OK.
Now where are we? Now we require statistical analysis! A certain collection of data gleaned from millions, or billions ( I don't know ) of interactions must depend, with 99.X% certainty on the existence of this particle, so what was that middle part again?
Like Andy Warhol said, "Death is so abstract."
