The headline of this article in The Telegraph is "Large Hadron Collider rumoured to have found God Particle".
However the text of the article has
The memo, written by four scientists working on the LHC's ATLAS experiment, warned the rate at which this happened was thirty times larger than would have been expected.
and
“The present result is the first definitive observation of physics beyond the standard model.
Exciting new physics, including new particles, may be expected to be found in the very near future.”
which, to me, suggest a problem with the standard model.
So the title suggests a particle fundamental to the standard model has been found and the copy suggests something that breaks the standard model has been found.
Quality reporting?
