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."

    LOL!

    From Wikipedia, 1 GeV/c^2 = 1.783 × 1027 kg . I wish summary articles were written so that most people could understand the terms used.

      My point is, if you are going to call someone an idiot, behaving like a bigger one yourself often lessens the strength of your statement.

      Also, considering you are posting as AC, yet you managed to reply to my reply, that means you are actively checking your anonymous posts for replies ? That's not just idiotic, it's also a sign of some kind of attention disorder.
