New CMS Results From LHC Jamboree

Jim Olsen is giving the CMS talk on 13 TeV results. CMS recorded 90% of the 4 inverse femtobarns delivered by the LHC, but only 2.8/fb were taken with the magnet at 3.8 Tesla (for the rest of the time the magnet was off due to a problem with the helium pur ...

New ATLAS Results From The 13 TeV LHC Jamboree

Marumi Kado started his talk by saying he will only present new results based on the full 2015 13 TeV pp collision dataset. For Run 2 there have been a large number of improvements to the detector. Also the trigger has been improved, with a new central tri ...

The 750 GeV Diphoton Bump: What It Cannot Be

Two weeks have passed since the CERN Jamboree of December 15th, which will be always remembered for the spurious 750 GeV signal observed by ATLAS and CMS in their mass spectra of photon pairs. It is unfortunate, as dozens of very important new measurements ...

Can More Higgs Particles Be Found Studying Superfluid Helium?

The mass of the Higgs boson reported at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012, 125 GeV, looked lighter than the expected energy scale, about 1 TeV, say researchers at Aalto University in Finland, who now propose that there is more than one Higgs boson, and the ...
