I am not an expert.

 

The Wikipedia page about the Higgs was updated to say CERN had found a Higgs like particle the same day it was found. I assume by someone at CERN.

 

The following link explains the current status. My understanding is that they are still uncertain whether they found the Higgs boson or not, but the tests they have completed are consistent with it being a Higgs.

There is no known difference between the Higgs Boson and the "new particle" recently proven at LHC. That is the reason why most people believe it is the Higgs boson. Obviously, no one would believe that if there was a know difference between the two.

 

Btw.: It's "particle". And English sentences always start with a capital letter.
