The upgraded LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider has yielded the first evidence of a decay called Bd to mu mu, a process predicted to occur roughly once per 10 billion beauty particles. The result reaches 3.2 sigma, which physicists say needs further data before the five-sigma level required for a discovery.
