Two experimental collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider, located at CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, announced that they have significantly narrowed the mass region in which the Higgs boson could be hiding.
The ATLAS and CMS experiments excluded with 95 percent certainty the existence of a Higgs over most of the mass region from 145 to 466 GeV. They announced the new results at the biennial Lepton-Photon conference, held this year in Mumbai, India.
"Each time we add new data to our analyses, we close in more on where the Higgs might be hiding," said Darin Acosta, a University of Florida professor and deputy physics coordinator for the CMS experiment.
