It appears that CERN goofed and as a result, the video of the announcement planned for tomorrow has been leaked. (That is, unless you choose to believe their cockamamie story about multiple versions of the video having been produced.)
The bottom line: there is definitely a particle there with integer spin. Its mass is about 125 GeV. We know it decays into two photons and two Z-bosons. That’s about all we know.
The assessment is that it is either the Higgs or something altogether new.
