Description |
Recently the CDF Collaboration at Fermilab has reported a significant deviation from the Standard Model predictions which appears to be due to the production of a new particle of mass around 145 GeV, which cannot be the Higgs boson. Reactions to these have varied from extreme scepticism to unquestioning belief that new physics has been found. After a brief introduction to the Tevatron, the CDF findings will be explained in context and then a summary of the many theoretical speculations about this signal will be presented, with focus on a solution involving an extra dimensional model. |
