Earlier this year they said they would either discover the Higgs or confirm
it does not exist by the end of 2012.

Now, because the machine is working so well, an LHC spokesman, Professor
Guido Tonelli, has told BBC News that the search could be completed much
sooner.

"We could discover the Standard Model version of the Higgs Boson or exclude
it earlier than expected. Could we discover it by Christmas? In principle,
yes," said Professor Tonelli

The possibility of an early Christmas present for the physics community was
raised at the beginning of the week by PhD student Richard Ruiz in the highly
respected physics blogsite Quantum Diaries. He wrote:

"What this means is that by the end of this year, not next year, we will
definitely know whether or not the Higgs Boson as predicted by the Standard
model exists."


But although the discovery of the Higgs by Christmas is possible, it is by no
means assured.

According to Richard Hawkings, who speaks for the LHC's Atlas experiment.
"It's a bit optimistic. If the Higgs had been in an easy to find area then
yes, we may have been able to have discovered it by Christmas," he said.

"But what we have discovered in the past couple of months is that its in a
region that's much harder to find.

This will require more data and more time."



Even so, if nothing goes wrong with the supercollider, researchers will have
collected the data they need to make a cast iron statement about the existence of the Standard Model version of the Higgs by
next summer.
