Batavia, Ill. - A new accelerator research facility being built at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will bolster Illinois' reputation as a technology hub and foster job creation. The Illinois Accelerator Research Center (IARC) at the Department of Energy's Fermilab will provide a state-of-the-art facility for research, development and industrialization of particle accelerator technology. The design and construction of IARC is jointly funded by DOE and the State of Illinois.

Update on the search for the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN Geneva, 6 December 2011. A seminar will be held at CERN on 13 December at which the ATLAS and CMS experiments will present the status of their searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson. These results will be based on the analysis of considerably more data than those presented at the summer conferences, sufficient to make significant progress in the search for the Higgs boson, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the Higgs.
