Question is, how do we fix the Standard Model without the Higgs?

You just take mass and gravity out of the equation. smile

It's looking like 120-125GeV, according to rumours in the CERN canteen.

Almost time for the webcast.

I'll repeat the link here:

Link2

The director of research at Cern, Sergio Bertolucci said "…I think we may get indications that are not consistent with its non-existence."

EDIT: It looks like the website has crashed

EDIT EDIT: BBC news has just announced that the Higgs Boson has been found. (13.20 GMT)

EDIT EDIT EDIT: "We observe an excess of events around mass of about 126 GeV," CERN physicist Fabiola Gianotti said in slides presented today

Gianotti also said CERN's results predict with a 95 percent confidence level that the Higgs boson has a mass between 115.5GeV and 131GeV

According to this article, the Higgs boson has NOT been found, but has been greatly narrowed down the size of the particle to between 115.5 GeV and 131 GeV.

Latest Press Releases


ATLAS and CMS experiments present Higgs search status 13.12.2011

In a seminar held at CERN today, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented the status of their searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson. Their results are based on the analysis of considerably more data than those presented at the summer conferences, sufficient to make significant progress in the search for the Higgs boson, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the elusive Higgs. The main conclusion is that the Standard Model Higgs boson, if it exists, is most likely to have a mass constrained to the range 116-130 GeV by the ATLAS experiment, and 115-127 GeV by CMS. Tantalising hints have been seen by both experiments in this mass region, but these are not yet strong enough to claim a discovery.

So the answer is a resounding "Maybe"? :(

Hmm, my guess seems to have been surprisingly accurate... Well, atleast it's within the range.

What do I win if it turns out to be spot on?

Just to clarify, is this pool closest without going over?
