Too thinly traded, deadline too soon, rules for what counts as "confirmation" too narrow given the deadline.

The market, unfortunately, is only through the end of next year; does anybody know whether all the relevant experiments are slated to be performed by then?

I'd like to unwind P(Find Higgs|LHC runs and does the tests) down to just P(Find Higgs) or some approximation thereof.

There are markets for further years, but have almost no activity, so I didn't link to them.
