News From the Field Fermilab Experiments Constrain Higgs Mass
March 13, 2009
|
The territory where the Higgs boson may be found continues to shrink. The latest data from the collider experiments at the Department of Energy's Fermilab now exclude a significant fraction of the allowed Higgs mass range established by earlier measurements. Those experiments predict a Higgs mass between 114 and 185 GeV/c2. The CDF and DZero results carve out a section in the middle of this range and exclude a mass between 160 and 170 GeV/c2.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering. In fiscal year (FY) 2009, its budget is $9.5 billion, which includes $3.0 billion provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to over 1,900 universities and institutions. Each year, NSF receives about 44,400 competitive requests for funding, and makes over 11,500 new funding awards. NSF also awards over $400 million in professional and service contracts yearly.
