The fine technical details are well over my | head, but I hope this is accurate enough. | | There is a very strong experimental support for the "old" Higgs | Boson discovered in 2012 that has a mass of 125Gev, and there is | some recent weak experimental support for another "new" Higgs | Boson with a mass of 95GeV. (For comparison, the mass of a proton | is ~0.9GeV.) | | In this preprint, they propose that there is a family of tree | Higgs Bosons. The "old" one, the "new" one and a third one yet to | be detected. The structure of the family forces some of the | properties of the bosons and how they interact with the other | particles. | | The hard part is tweaking the properties of the family of Higgs | Bosons so they predict the results of the experiments where the | 125GeV and 95GeV are seen, but they don't cause weird results in | all the other thousands of experiments where the Higgs Bosons | have a negligible effect. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-03-25 23:00 UTC)
