Event description: 

In this follow up to the colloquium, additional details of the nature of the new particle discovered at the LHC will be presented. Results of the data analysis indicate that the particle is not inconsistent with the Standard Model Higgs boson, but there are additional possibilities that are beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
