BBC News - US experiment hints at 'multiple God particles'

The Higgs Boson is the subatomic particle that physicists theorize as the particle responsible for attributing mass.  However, it has yet to be detected. Summer results from Fermilab, the LHC's US rival, suggest physicists could be hunting five particles, not one. The idea of multiple Higgs-like bosons is supported by results gathered by the DZero experiment at the Tevatron particle accelerator

"The DZero results showed much more significant "asymmetry" of matter and anti-matter - beyond what could be explained by the Standard Model.

Bogdan Dobrescu, Adam Martin and Patrick J Fox from Fermilab say this large asymmetry effect can be accounted for by the existence of multiple Higgs bosons."

A New Experiment in the Hunt for Neutrinos

Astronomers Suspect High Energy Neutrinos Could be Detected on Moon

This article goes to show that even the largest particle collider has nothing on the moon.  In fact, scientists suggest that the moon acts as a large particle collider that can be used to detect high energy neutrinos.  Neutrinos have no electrical charge meaning that they don't react to magnetic fields.  They are difficult to detect because they pass through matter and are extremely rare.  Best case scenario for detecting neutrinos on the moon occurs only a handful of times per month.
