Excellent! Perhaps more, even cooler data for a future season of Higgs Hunters!

Here's one about the LHC restart from CERN:
CERN's two-year shutdown drawing to a close

This describes some of the work and extra computing power that is required to facilitate the move to the higher energy.
Moving on, I found this one (also from CERN) a bit more interesting. It succinctly explains why the LHC is being powered on at 13 TeV, rather than 14 TeV.
Restarting the LHC: Why 13 Tev?

I also followed some links and discovered some very in-depth articles that describe the measurement of the Higgs' energy.

I enjoyed reading these - I hope you do also!
