The LHC has just announced the discovery of a type of baryon that is made up of two Charm quarks and one Up quark.

This animation nicely shows more and more data coming in and the signal of this new particle building up on the graph.

Hah. Seeing that ROOT plot almost makes me nostalgic for my grad school days.

 

FYI, ROOT is a set of C++ libraries that are widely used by particle physicists and particle astrophysicists for data analysis. I can generally recognize one by the font on the axis labels, but I feel like they've made some formatting changes in the latest versions.
