Higgs

Hello world, it's been a while, hasn't it? This blog went into hibernation once it began to look like there was no phenomenon to explain, just a glitch in the modeling of background events. But I will now rouse it from its slumbers to report a few things.

At the moment, the search for the Higgs boson is the center of attention. Lubos Motl likes the idea of one Higgs at 115 GeV and another at 144 GeV, as indicative of supersymmetry. But meanwhile I shall report a paper which instead seeks to explain two such Higgses in terms of a composite model; and another which explains the Tevatron data in terms of a two-Higgs model. But first let us see what the LHC says after a few more months.
