*** Release of HiggsBounds version 4.0.0 and HiggsSignals version 1.0.0 ***
We would like to announce the official release of the two programs
HiggsBounds-4 and HiggsSignals-1 to you! The last release of the
HiggsBounds code (version 3.8) was almost a year ago and, as you know,
there have been many new results on both exclusion limits as well as on
measurements of the Higgs signal from the LHC 8 TeV run.
Both codes can be obtained from:
http://higgsbounds.hepforge.org
Below you find a compact description of the new developments in each
program.
** NEW FEATURES IN HIGGSBOUNDS-4 **
We put out a new user manual (HiggsBounds-4-manual.pdf) which you can
find on the hepforge website. Please consult it for more information of
the new HiggsBounds developments.
In HiggsBounds-4 the input has been extended to incorporate the LHC 8
TeV results. All relevant exclusion results up to the Moriond 2013
conference are included, see below for a listing of the experimental
searches.
We had to slightly modify our procedure for the statistical combination
(i.e. applying only the expected most-sensitive exclusion limit to the
model). This was necessary because we also include exclusion limits in
the signal region, around 125 GeV, where the expected and observed limit
highly deviate. The default way ("full method") is now to test each
Higgs boson individually against its most-sensitive analysis. The old
procedure ("classic method") is still available in the code.
A new feature is the treatment of theoretical mass uncertainties. If
these are set to non-zero values, the code evaluates the Higgsbounds
result for several variations of the Higgs masses within their
uncertainty and chooses the most conservative result.
As another new feature a chi-squared value can now be obtained for the
LEP Higgs exclusion limits. This is evaluated from the full CLs and CLsb
tables which were kindly given to us by the LEP collaborations. To
enable this feature an extra package holding the experimental tables as
binary files has to be downloaded from the website. This extension can
be very useful for global fits of SUSY or other BSM scenarios.
The new package comes with new and updated example programs which
demonstrate the new developments.
** HIGGSSIGNALS-1 **
The new program HiggsSignals is testing the Higgs sector predictions
against the signal rate and mass measurements at the Tevatron and LHC.
This is done by evaluating a chi-squared value, where the correlations
of major systematic uncertainties (theory prediction of the Higgs mass,
production and decay rates as well as luminosity) can be taken into
account. The program is linked to the HiggsBounds Fortran library and
the input of the model predictions is handled via the (known)
HiggsBounds subroutines. For the chi-squared evaluation, we provide two
(complementary) methods, see the manual for more information.
The program comes with a default set of experimental observables
(including the latest D0, CDF, ATLAS and CMS results), however, the user
can also implement new (hypothetical) signal observables on her own. If
the model contains an extended neutral Higgs sector, the code
automatically finds the Higgs boson(s) which describes the signal best.
Hereby, possible superpositions of the signal rates of several Higgs
bosons are also considered.
The program is documented in a user manual, which can be found on the
hepforge website. Moreover, it will appear on the arXiv tomorrow. We
hope that this new program will be a useful tool for many upcoming
studies of new physics models as well as for generic Higgs coupling fits.
We would very much appreciate your feedback on the new codes. If you
have any problems, comments, suggestions, etc., don't hesitate to
contact us.
Best wishes,
The HiggsBounds Team
