2 Higgs Bosons One Ordinary And Another More Exostotic
« on: December 15, 2012, 12:24:47 am »
News from CERN about more results in the search for the Higgs Boson, this time from the ATLAS experiment.
Researchers report peaks in the data in accordance with what they'd expect from the Higgs.
The curiosity is that the peaks are a couple GeV away from each other. "The ATLAS analyses in these channels return the best fit Higgs masses that differ by more than 3 GeV: 123.5 GeV for ZZ and 126.6 GeV for gamma-gamma, which is much more than the estimated resolution of about 1 GeV. The tension between these 2 results is estimated to be 2.7sigma.

The exotic one equates to more taxpayers money. I'm sure there is an elegant equation there somewhere.
