Cern's Accelerator and Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider labs are now capable of generating and detecting the Higgs Boson resonance.

The nuclear reaction is as follows:
Pu244(39 Tev) + Au197 -> CMS(39 Tev) -> H115.6 GeV(1 Tev) + E

Ecms = (160 GeV/nucleon)* 244 nucleons = 39 Tev

Higgs Decays:
H115.6 Gev(1 Tev) -> Z93 Gev + Z93 Gev

H115.6 Gev(1 Tev) -> W+82 Gev + W-82 Gev

The energy available for producing new matter, is about 3.5 Tev.

A 40 Tev cms (center-of-mass) energy is available at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider undergoing final preparations at Brookhaven.

Evidence for the transition from a hadron phase (baryons and mesons) into a QGP phase was expected to consist of:

(1) an enhanced production of strange mesons

(2) a decrease in the production of heavy psi mesons (each consisting of a charm and anti-charm quarks)

(3) an increase in the creation of energetic photons and lepton-anti-lepton pairs.

(indirect) evidence (at least of types 1 and 2) has now turned up in the CERN data.

Interesting... if true (which I seriously doubt).

1) The tevatron is not at CERN but at Fermilab.
2) The large CERN accelerator is down pending installment of LHC.
3) No mention of H is made on the BNL site.
4) No mention of H is made on physicsweb.

Can you provide a clear link to the results? preprint / experimental results-page will do...

It is clear he refers to the preliminary Aleph results, three years old by now. They are in the first quoted URL.
