According to its press release, CERN will "[u]pdate on the search for the Higgs boson at CERN on the eve of the ICHEP 2012 Conference": "CERN will hold a scientific seminar at 9:00 CEST on 4 July to deliver the latest update in the search for the Higgs boson. At this seminar, coming on the eve of the year’s major particle physics conference, ICHEP, in Melbourne, the ATLAS and CMS experiments will deliver the preliminary results of their 2012 data analysis." see http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?ovw=True&confId=196564
This was reported by Philip Gibbs at viXra Log. See http://blog.vixra.org/2012/06/22/cern-to-present-update-on-the-higgs-boson-on-4th-july-at-cern/ . Gibbs added "A possible reason for conducting the update at CERN is that the director general Rolf Heuer has said that he wants the news of a discovery to take place at the centre in front of the dedicated staff who have worked so hard for this result. The need is made stronger because Australia is not a member state of CERN so to announce the discovery there would be inconvenient politics."
The news was reported earlier by Hamish Johnston at Physics World: "We have heard from a reliable source that CERN will be holding a press conference on 4 July. This is the first day of the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Melbourne, Australia, where physicists working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are expected to unveil the latest results in their search for the Higgs boson."
