Sign up ×  I came across this abstract, and I am curious as to
what the ATLAS Team has actually discovered:  Abstract Motivated
by the result of the Higgs boson candidates at LEP with a mass
of about 115~GeV/c2, the observation given in ATLAS note ATL-
COM-PHYS-2010-935 (November 18, 2010) and the publication
“Production of isolated Higgs particle at the Large Hadron
Collider Physics” (Letters B 683 2010 354-357), we studied the
γγ invariant mass distribution over the range of 80 to 150
GeV/c2. With 37.5~pb−1 data from 2010 and 26.0~pb−1 from 2011,
we observe a γγ resonance around 115~GeV/c2 with a significance
of 4σ. The event rate for this resonance is about thirty times
larger than the expectation from Higgs to γγ in the standard
model. This channel H→γγ is of great importance because the
presence of new heavy particles can enhance strongly both the
Higgs production cross section and the decay branching ratio.
This large enhancement over the standard model rate implies that
the present result is the first d
