Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of Higgs search progress, summarizing experimental bounds and theoretical implications for the Standard Model and beyond.
Findings
Bounds on Higgs from LEP established
Inferences for Higgs detection at LHC
Discussion of extended Higgs and alternative models
Abstract
After a brief introduction to the theoretical basis of the Higgs mechanism for generating the masses of elementary particles, the experimental searches for Higgs particles will be summarized, from bounds at LEP to inferences for LHC. The report will focus on the Standard Model, though some central results on extended Higgs systems, as conjectured for example in supersymmetric theories, will also be recapitulated. Alternative scenarios based on spontaneous symmetry breaking by novel strong interactions are adumbrated at the theoretical level.
