Article Synopsis
- The Higgs boson, crucial for the standard model of particle physics, helps mediate the weak force between elementary particles, and its mass is closely regulated by the model's symmetries.
- Researchers measured the mass of the boson using data from proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron collider, accumulating about 4 million candidates to achieve a very precise measurement.
- This new mass measurement shows a significant discrepancy with what is expected from the standard model, suggesting potential gaps in our current understanding of particle physics.
A search for the exotic meson X(5568) decaying into the B_{s}^{0}π^{±} final state is performed using data corresponding to 9.6 fb^{-1} from pp[over ¯] collisions at sqrt[s]=1960 GeV recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. No evidence for this state is found and an upper limit of 6.

The array represents a significant advancement in this technology, and in this work we apply it for the first time to a high-sensitivity search for a lepton-number-violating process: ^{130}Te neutrinoless double-beta decay. Examining a total TeO_{2} exposure of 86.

These measurements use the full data sets collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV.

- * The measured t-channel cross section is σ_{t}=2.25_{-0.31}^{+0.29} pb, along with a two-dimensional analysis of s- and t-channel cross sections.
- * The combined s+t channel cross section is σ_{s+t}=3.30_{-0.40}^{+0.52} pb, and the measurement of the top-to-bottom quark coupling yields |V_{tb}|=1.02_{-0.
