TL;DR
This paper reports a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson using LEP data, observing an excess of candidates near 114.5 GeV, indicating potential Higgs detection at high energies.
Contribution
First search for the Higgs boson at LEP energies above 206 GeV, identifying candidate events near 114.5 GeV with detailed analysis of their characteristics.
Findings
Observed excess of Higgs candidates near 114.5 GeV
Collected 212.5 pb-1 of data at high energies
Identified potential Higgs signals in e+e- collisions
Abstract
In a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson, carried out on 212.5 pb-1 of data collected by the L3 detector at the highest LEP centre-of-mass energies, including 116.5 pb-1 above root(s) = 206GeV, an excess of candidates for the process e+e- -> Z* -> HZ is found for Higgs masses near 114.5GeV. We present an analysis of our data and the characteristics of our strongest candidates.
