Higgs boson excluded at 2 sigma by ATLAS: arXiv:1112.2577 - Cosmo-torun

13 Dec 2011


      hi cosmo-torun
The mainstream media say that a seminar will take place this
afternoon at CERN for the ATLAS and CMS groups. This seems
to be the ATLAS paper. Can anyone find the CMS paper?

Search for the Higgs boson in the H->WW(*)->lvlv decay channel in pp
collisions at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Authors: ATLAS Collaboration (Submitted on 12 Dec 2011)
Abstract: A search for the Higgs boson has been performed in the
     H->WW->lvlv channel (l=e/mu) with an integrated luminosity of
     2.05/fb of pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV collected with the
     ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess
     of events over the expected background is observed and limits on
     the Higgs boson production cross section are derived for a Higgs
     boson mass in the range 110<mH<300 GeV. The observations exclude
     the presence of a Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass
     145<mH<206 GeV at 95% confidence level.
