Observation of an excess in the ALEPH search for the Standard Model Higgs boson
Pedro Teixeira-Dias
TL;DR
The paper reports an observed excess of events in the ALEPH search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at around 115 GeV/c2, based on the full 2000 data set at energies up to 209 GeV.
Contribution
This work provides the first comprehensive analysis of all 2000 data collected by ALEPH, confirming an excess consistent with a Higgs boson at 115 GeV/c2.
Findings
Observed excess of events at 115 GeV/c2
Data consistent with Higgs signal hypothesis
Analysis based on full 2000 dataset
Abstract
The ALEPH search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the year 2000 revealed an excess of signal-like events, consistent with a signal hypothesis mh=115 GeV/c2. Here we present the first results after the analysis of all of the data collected during the year 2000, at collision energies up to 209 GeV, and which were published in November 2000.
