Ah, but if they find it, it'll be because they've just created it brand, spanking new from the energy of the colliding particles; e=mc2 in reverse (to turn huge amounts of energy into matter), it won't have existed beforehand.
They'll know if it's a Higgs Boson because they're predicting what properties it'll have (if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck it's a boson).
