Expected LHC Higgs Significance at 5/fb+5/fb and Where Does Higgs Fit Best?

Philip E. Gibbs

Abstract


While we are waiting for that we can look forward to next year when results for 5/fb will be revealed, probably in March. When the results are combined we will see 10/fb and here we discuss the expected significance at that level. Further, it may be a little late now to try to analyse the latest public data from the LHC given that the collaborations themselves are now looking at 3 times the amount of integrated luminosity.  So, I also discuss how can we see what really fits best? To answer this we first have to think about what the familiar brazil band plots mean such as the one showing the recent Higgs combination for the summer data from the LHC.
