Primes¶
- Hypothesis Testing (Null vs. Alternative)
- The 2012 Higgs-boson discovery announcement by ATLAS and CMS at CERN was structured as formal hypothesis tests with pre-specified significance thresholds
This sourceCERN Higgs discovery announcement structured as formal hypothesis test with 5σ significance threshold.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The ATLAS abstract reports a 5.9 sigma significance with a background fluctuation probability, but not pre-specified thresholds or CMS.
“which has a significance of 5.9 standard deviations, corresponding to a background fluctuation probability of 1.7”

- Signal Extraction
- In astronomy and physics, pulsar signals are extracted from background by folding, gravitational-wave detection matched-filters a chirp template against detector noise, and the Higgs discovery was a multi-channel extraction of a mass peak against expected backgrounds.
This sourceMulti-channel extraction of a mass-peak signal above expected backgrounds, the Higgs discovery.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The ATLAS 2012 paper supplies the Higgs clause of the sentence — a mass peak (126 GeV) established at 5.9σ against a background-fluctuation probability of 1.7×10^(−9) — and nothing about autoencoders, pulsar folding, or matched filtering.
“Clear evidence for the production of a neutral boson with a measured mass of 126.0±0.4(stat)±0.4(sys) GeV is presented. This observation, which has a significance of 5.9 standard deviations, corresponding to a background fluctuation probability of 1.7×10^(−9), is compatible with the production and decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson.”

This sourceExperimental confirmation of electroweak symmetry breaking via Higgs boson discovery.

ATLAS reports a 5.9 sigma new boson in 2012 data, compatible with the Standard Model Higgs; electroweak symmetry breaking itself is not mentioned.

Domain-specific¶
- Jeffreys-Lindley Paradox
- Particle physics requires a famously stringent "5σ" excess (p ≈ 3×10⁻⁷) before claiming a discovery, as for the 2012 Higgs boson announcement

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 4 of 4 citations: 4 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
