New Experiments Constrain Higgs Mass

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/c^2. The CDF and DZero results carve out a section in the middle of this range and exclude a mass between 160 and 170 GeV/c^2.[...]
