Ok, the third video clip from my talk at the Secret Science club from March 2011 is now uploaded for your enjoyment.  [But watch the other two clips first, it will make it a lot easier to follow!]  Learn how to find the Higgs particle!  (Or at least the easier ways — an explanation of the harder techniques, some of which are important in the current hints of a Higgs signal, and further details on the easier techniques, will be posted very soon.)

Attentive viewers will notice that in one of my plots of simulated data the Higgs particle has a mass between 140 and 150 GeV.  I promise you 🙂 I had no advanced warning of this month’s hints!!  […which happen currently to favor this regime…]
