Does tentatively mean experimentally?

Context:

The Higgs boson or Higgs particle is an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particle initially http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_PRL_symmetry_breaking_papers,[6][7] and tentatively confirmed to exist on 14 March 2013.[8] The discovery has been called "monumental"[9][10] because it appears to confirm the existence of the Higgs field,[11][12] which is pivotal to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model and other theories within http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_physics. It would explain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_generation when the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_(physics) controlling their interactions should require them to be massless, and—linked to this—why the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_force has a much shorter range than the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_force. The discovery of a Higgs boson should allow physicists to finally validate the last untested area of the Standard Model's approach to fundamental particles and forces, guide other theories and discoveries in particle physics, and potentially lead to developments in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_beyond_the_Standard_Model[13].

Yes. Tentative means not certain, not definite, not fixed, subject to change.
