New Bounds On the Higgs Boson Mass

Posted by kdawson on from the pulling-in-the-walls dept.

As the LHC continues to run at half power for the next year+, the US-based Tevatron continues to crank out results. Reader hweimer writes "Three new papers in Physical Review Letters present the latest results for the Higgs boson mass coming from Fermilab's Tevatron. The new data mandates that the Higgs boson mass within the standard model lies between 115 and 150 GeV." A year back we discussed the Tevatron's previous shrinking of the search space for the Higgs "God particle."

    But how does the mass of the Higgs boson compare to the mass of Dolly Parton's bosom?
