Working hard at Canada’s Perimeter Institute, that is. Longer posts are on hold for a couple of days while some friends and I stuff our brains with the details of as many ATLAS and CMS papers as we can handle. We’ve gotten through fifteen or so, I suppose, on several topics. Already I have learned a lot about the Higgs searches and the supersymmetry-like searches, which eventually will make their way onto these pages. There are many devils in the details… In the meantime, in case you’re interested, I did a small update to the article on the implications of current data for Higgs particles of various types.
A Higgs particle is produced in a proton-proton collision at center, and decays to two photons (particles of light, indicated by green towers) in an LHC detector. Tracks emerging from center are from remnants of the two protons.
