> Presumably this was a result of the LHC's power upgrade to 13 TeV Eh... despite what the other guy is saying, you can't really say this for sure. These bumps appear in a region that was accessible during Run 1 at 7 and 8 TeV. See figure 3: http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.05511 If it is something real, and not just a statistical fluctuation (that's a big if), then it would have to be e.g. some decay product of a much heavier particle to account for why it wasn't seen during Run 1. > If so, should they now be able to repeatedly get these results again and again? Again, depends if it's a real effect…
