What was the rest mass of the ZZ pair found at the LHC?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The rest mass of the ZZ pair discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is confirmed to be 200 GeV. This measurement falls within an excluded mass region for the Higgs boson, suggesting that this observation does not indicate a Higgs sighting. The information is derived from a talk referenced in an article on Physics World, specifically noted around page 20 of the presentation. This finding is significant for ongoing research in particle physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of particle physics concepts
  • Familiarity with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
  • Knowledge of Higgs boson properties and mass ranges
  • Ability to interpret scientific presentations and articles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the 200 GeV rest mass in particle physics
  • Explore the significance of excluded mass regions for the Higgs boson
  • Learn about the experimental techniques used at the LHC
  • Investigate the latest findings related to the Higgs boson and its discovery
USEFUL FOR

Particle physicists, researchers in high-energy physics, and students studying the properties of fundamental particles will benefit from this discussion.

Nice.

Incidentally, if you follow the link at the bottom of the article and go to the original talk, near the end of the talk (~pg20), they note the rest mass of the ZZ pair to be 200 Gev, which is in the heart of an "excluded" Higgs mass region, so probably not a Higg's sighting yet.
