As I reported in an earlier post, two weeks ago seven physicists announced the observation of a new light boson of mass 38 MeV at the Nuclotron particle accelerator in Dubna, near Moscow. The new boson, named the E(38), is not predicted by the Standard Model of the strong and electroweak interactions, and if the observation is confirmed, it will be the first discovery of an elementary particle not predicted by the Standard Model, since the Standard Model became established in the 1970's. read more
