SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the collection of data regarding searches for scalar resonances at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), specifically referencing the preprint arXiv:2001.04770. Participants clarify the terminology used, emphasizing that "concrete" refers to statistically significant resonances rather than mere theoretical constructs. The conversation highlights the absence of supersymmetric particles despite the LHC's capability to explore the total energy of known constituent particles. The need for caution in interpreting emerging data is also underscored.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of scalar resonances in particle physics
  • Familiarity with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its operational principles
  • Knowledge of statistical significance in scientific research
  • Awareness of supersymmetry and its implications in particle physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of arXiv:2001.04770 on current LHC findings
  • Explore the concept of hadronic resonances and their significance
  • Learn about statistical methods for analyzing particle physics data
  • Investigate the current status of supersymmetry searches at the LHC
USEFUL FOR

Particle physicists, researchers in high-energy physics, and anyone interested in the latest developments in collider experiments and resonance searches.

TL;DR
preprints about concrete resonances to be searched in the next run of LHC or future accelerators.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.04770 intends to collect available data on searches for scalar resonances at LHC, and I think it could be useful to have a thread to collect such kind of preprints, either for scalar or other particles.

I don't get the "cow" reference although I can tell that it is one, but no harm in establishing a central place to discusses new collider resonances.

Also, I assume that by "concrete" you mean definite or statistically significant, and not made of the aggregate construction material.

I also presume that you mean to include resonances that are probably hadronic, rather than fundamental.
 
The Large Hadron Collider has the total energy of the known constituent particles but no super symmetry particles have been found.

Hmm I got the reference from inside the text

Caution is of course mandatory and one should wait for more data,..., but, in this period of ‘meagre cows’ and dramatic strategic decisions, one cannot disdain this emerging hope.

And yep, concrete was intended as adjetive to resonances.

The constituent particles wouldn't be supersymmetric particles. You can always tune the parameters to make a model just out of reach for the current datasets, even though the overall energy is sufficient.
