INTERESTED PARTIES MUST READ THIS…
Two questions/issues must give one pause:
1) Stephen Hawking and Higgs have traded words publicly over whether it is even possible to "see"/measure Higgs bosons. Hawking has previously bet – and won -- that we CAN'T with our current technology.
2) Recent studies at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have shown (although errors are always possible in this field), that a Standard Model assumption about the predicted energy/mass of the Higgs Boson is empirically WRONG. Don’t listen to this old physics student, read the articles at the attached URLs (the lbl.gov article is the most important).
