Learning to separate the collider's signals from its noise will take time, Bird says.
The researchers from the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF), however, do seem to have confirmed a discrepancy between matter and antimatter.
There are five collision detectors at the collider, each one some five stories tall and operating much like a giant digital camera.
Eventually they will be saving only, in effect, the collider's greatest hits.
After orchestrating 2 million collisions between lead nuclei and protons, like the sort you see above, the collider's Compact Muon Solenoid group and researchers at MIT suspect that stray, linked pairs of gluon particles in the mix were signs of color-glass condensate, a currently theory-only form of matter that sees gluons travel in liquid-like, quantum-entangled waves.
ENGADGET: Large Hadron Collider may have produced a previously undetected form of matter
But so far, neither the results from the U.S. collider experiments nor from the the Large Hadron Collider, located 328 feet underneath the border of France and Switzerland, have enough statistical significance to constitute a discovery.
The Large Hadron Collider is in Switzerland because Congress canceled the construction of our much larger atom smasher, the Superconducting Super Collider, in 1993.

The Brooklyn bar, Pacific Standard , hosts The Story Collider, The Standard Issues, a thematic storytelling show that invites one hat-picked "mystery guest", and Mimsy, an experimental show featuring a regular cast of eight who mix storytelling with improvisation, skits and audience participation.
And on Monday, data from the Tevatron collider indicated that the Higgs if it exists is consistent with a mass of 125 GeV.

The Large Hadron Collider, the huge particle accelerator in Switzerland which was switched on this week (see article), is a grand project that could yield all sorts of discoveries.
And what times we are living in, with the Large Hadron Collider on the one hand, and on the other, Nick Bostrom's very logical argument that we're actually living in a simulation operated by an advanced future civilization.
The United States had an opportunity to build the Supercollider, which would have been larger than the Large Hadron Collider which unlocked the Higgs Boson.
The Large Hadron Collider -- the giant accelerating machine that created the Higgs boson -- might just make a tiny wormhole for long enough that its time-bending effects could be glimpsed.
LHSee makes the Hadron Collider accessible to anybody with an Android smartphone or tablet PC.
FORBES: Want to Find the Higgs Boson? There's an App For That.
Databases used in astronomy, genomes or output from the Hadron collider make financial databases look tiny, he added.
On November 13, 2012, at the Hadron Collider Physics Symposium in Kyoto, another round of data will be released, and it is expected to show additional confirmation that this is a Higgs boson.
FORBES: Did Peter Higgs Deserve To Win A Nobel Prize This Year?
"We have enough to get me excited that I'd be willing to bet your house it's real but not enough to bet my house, " said particle physicist Rob Roser of Fermilab, which oversees the Tevatron collider.

"I discovered I was more interested in talking about how science affects people, about the emotional side", than "becoming an expert in something maybe 10 people cared about", said Ben Lillie, who was a high-energy particle theorist before he founded The Story Collider.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's biggest particle accelerator, uses a staggering 1, 200 tonnes of superconducting wire, similar to the sort used in MRI, in order to speed protons up to within a whisker of the speed of light and to collide them inside vast detectors, themselves stuffed with several hundred tonnes of superconducting materials.
Applications tested included the heavyweights of the government scientific community from projects such as MG-RAST (a metagenomics analysis server), the Joint Genome Institute, the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO).

During the week-long exhibition at the Scottish Parliament to celebrate the Scottish contribution to the creation and operation of the Large Hadron Collider visitors are able to walk through a full-size replica of a section of the LHC tunnel.
The physics machine, called the Large Hadron Collider, is a 17-mile hollow ring underneath Switzerland and France built by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
The search for Higgs got its biggest boost in December when researchers at the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, near Geneva, Switzerland, said that data from two independent experiments had narrowed the range of the would-be particle's likely mass to between 124 and 126 gigaelectronvolts, or GeV.
