Hi all.

Interesting idea, post to this thread what you think the final 5 sigma mass of the Higgs will be.

i estimate (based on my analysis of the existing known exclusions) to be 133.7 GeV.

comments?

winner by closest estimate (if they ever discover it) gets a box of random components of unknown mass.

heh.. although i'd have gone for a slightly higher number.

look here Link2 for the current data as of a few months back.
interestingly they now think that there may be even heavier particles which could be detected with the LHC.

Guess I'll join the guessing game and throw out a 181.5GeV

As no one has guessed under the 133.7 GeV, I'll say... 120000.1 MeV. It's not an informed guess, but a guess none the less.

might be a while, they have a *lot* of data to trawl through.

needless to say, joining the LHC@Home cluster computing group might be an idea, put those surplus gigaflops to good use.
supposedly a PS3 is about equivalent to a quad core Q6600 when running flat out.
and then there's the graphics card version, some of the newer Nvidia cards can top out at ten times the maximum speed of the newest quad cores for certain subsets of data.

154.3 GeV from me.. however i suspect that will be low and it will end up being closer to the heavier side of the spectrum...

well i'll go with 140 GeV, because the article mentions that number and it fits my user name.
