  1. Back in CERN; sunny, clear skies, it's summer again!
  2. @closefrank no - but Nima can't understand why you wouldn't want SUSY instead...
  3. Whose great idea was it to ask Nima what was wrong with the Standard Model Higgs? Arghhh.
  4. So a 125 GeV Higgs might mean split Susy. It could mean that the universe is natural. Or not. Hmm .. thanks Nima...
  5. Nima Arkani Hamed will tell us what a 125 GeV Higgs means this pm. (if we have one). Cant wait.
  6. @closefrank nice wine yes, it's a lovely region.
