In the recent Higgs seminar at 73:38 Guido Tonelli the spokesman for CMS, makes a mistake and refers to a Z-prime in a context that would imply that they see them frequently. He swiftly backpedals amid the general hilarity of the concept. However a few seconds later he remarks that "There is something behind this", implying that there is a reason why he might have Z-primes on his mind and he says "Fabio knows" referring to Fabiola Gianotti who leads the ATLAS team.

Can we expect some announcement regarding a Z-prime boson? Does anyone have more information?

Haha, you're trying to read a lot, indeed. Let me just guess that "Fabio knows" almost certainly doesn't mean "Fabiola knows". The former is male, the latter is female. It could be Fabio Maltoni see e.g. arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0505014 or someone else. – Luboš Motl Dec 15 '11 at 6:32
