TL;DR

Researchers at CERN have discovered evidence of a rare form of Higgs boson decay, which could prove the existence of particles beyond those predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. The discovery was made by combining data from two CERN experiments, ATLAS and CMS, and suggests that the Standard Model is pointing towards theories that extend beyond it. The discovery rates 3.4-Sigma, which is a low chance of being a mistaken observation, but greater than the discovery of the Higgs boson itself.
