Along with a bunch of important people who actually know how to give interviews, I answer that question in this video:
The video goes along with this Nature News article. You may also be interested in the recent combined ATLAS and CMS Higgs result, which uses only the first half of this year’s data.
By the way, when I talk about a “minimal Higgs, that only does the part we know that something like the Higgs has to do,” I’m referring to the so-called fermiphobic Higgs. It plays the usual role of the Standard Model Higgs boson in breaking electroweak symmetry, but doesn’t couple to quarks and leptons (i.e. fermions). We already know from the way the weak and electromagnetic forces work that the relationship between them has its origins in something like the Higgs — but we have less reason to be certain that the same particle takes care of quark and lepton masses too. This version of the Higgs boson is more difficult to find, but perfectly sensible, and we’ll probably hear a lot more about it in coming years if we don’t have a big discovery this year or next.
The youtube link is broken. Perhaps you should try hosting the videos on your own servers instead of relying on google.
Can you try loading the video again? We just tested the link and it seems to be working.
YouTube has problems these days, especially if you are logged in your YouTube account. Their server “accounts.google.com” sometimes does not answer, which explains why videos are no more accessible. Temporary solution: if YouTube videos are not accessible, go to a YouTube site (even blank) and remove all its cookies. That disconnects to your account and allows you to see the videos again.
You should have had Ayana Arce in this.
It worked after copying and pasting the video url from the page source.
