Higgs Territory Continues To Shrink
PhysicsDavid writes "Announced this morning by Fermilab, the possible territory for the Higgs boson has shrunk even further. Combined results from the CDF and DZero experiments at the Tevatron have ruled out the existence of the Higgs with a mass between 160 and 170 GeV/c^2 with 95% confidence. At 90% confidence the Higgs is ruled out between about 157 and 185 GeV/c^2. Here is Fermilab's press release. If the Higgs is to be found at the lighter end of the currently allowed range of 114 GeV/c^2 to 185 GeV/c^2, its detection will be harder than at the heavier end due to the kinds of signals that the Large Hadron Collider and the Tevatron will see. Some physicists think that a lighter Higgs will be easier to spot at the Tevatron as the background processes which obscure the faint signal are not as prevalent in those experiments."
It's hard to be afraid of someone who links to goatse LOL The legions of men with gaping anuses just aren't that... legion.
It's like a Yankee, his territory is his shrinking dick, so long, dollar, now the world invites you to payback time.
Unless you're willing to maim bush, madoff, cheney, rumsfeld, condy and the other assholes, you're against us.
Don't forget to maim Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Daschle, Geithner, Snowe, and the rest of the pork gang, too!
No, they just don't know that the Higgs boson is hidden in Saddam Hussein's wife's burqa.
