Fermilab has a tough row to hoe. If they get enough integrated luminosity (and it's not clear that they will; current luminosity is a factor of two below the Run II target luminosity) then they'll just be able to cover the low end of the Higgs mass range before LHC turns on in 2008 or so. That's valuable, though, because LHC has an effective "blind spot" in the low Higgs mass range.

Fermilab may have better luck with supersymmetry. A few years ago, CDF discovered an event with two electrons and two photons, and a large amount of missing energy and momentum. The event was consistent with the production and decay of a pair of scalar electrons (a scalar electron is the supersymmetric partner to the electron). Still, there was a very remote chance that a known physics process could produce that event topology. If that were the case, they'd never see another one.

Deep rumor is that they've recently seen another one.

Never hurts to ask -

if there's any way you can translate the article (and your reply) into "something that I can understand", it would be appreciated.

I know a few things about sub-atomic physics (like QED, and what quarks are) but I have no idea what this article is talking about. (I have the feeling though, that it's all just too far over my head.)
