Large mass splittings between charged and neutral Higgs bosons in the MSSM
We show that large ( GeV) mass splittings between the charged Higgs
boson () and the neutral Higgs bosons ( and ) are possible in
the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Such splittings occur when
the parameter is considerably larger than the common SUSY scale,
, and have significant consequences for MSSM Higgs searches at future
colliders.Comment: 11 pages, LaTex, 5 figures, version to appear in Phys. Lett.
Report of the Higgs Working Group of the Tevatron Run 2 SUSY/Higgs Workshop
This report presents the theoretical analysis relevant for Higgs physics at
the upgraded Tevatron collider and documents the Higgs Working Group
simulations to estimate the discovery reach in Run 2 for the Standard Model and
MSSM Higgs bosons. Based on a simple detector simulation, we have determined
the integrated luminosity necessary to discover the SM Higgs in the mass range
100-190 GeV. The first phase of the Run 2 Higgs search, with a total integrated
luminosity of 2 fb-1 per detector, will provide a 95% CL exclusion sensitivity
comparable to that expected at the end of the LEP2 run. With 10 fb-1 per
detector, this exclusion will extend up to Higgs masses of 180 GeV, and a
tantalizing 3 sigma effect will be visible if the Higgs mass lies below 125
GeV. With 25 fb-1 of integrated luminosity per detector, evidence for SM Higgs
production at the 3 sigma level is possible for Higgs masses up to 180 GeV.
However, the discovery reach is much less impressive for achieving a 5 sigma
Higgs boson signal. Even with 30 fb-1 per detector, only Higgs bosons with
masses up to about 130 GeV can be detected with 5 sigma significance. These
results can also be re-interpreted in the MSSM framework and yield the required
luminosities to discover at least one Higgs boson of the MSSM Higgs sector.
With 5-10 fb-1 of data per detector, it will be possible to exclude at 95% CL
nearly the entire MSSM Higgs parameter space, whereas 20-30 fb-1 is required to
obtain a 5 sigma Higgs discovery over a significant portion of the parameter
space. Moreover, in one interesting region of the MSSM parameter space (at
large tan(beta)), the associated production of a Higgs boson and a b b-bar pair
is significantly enhanced and provides potential for discovering a non-SM-like
Higgs boson in Run 2.Comment: 185 pages, 124 figures, 55 table
Victory vegetable gardens
The farm garden may easily occupy 1/2 acre and supply enough vegetables for a medium-sized family the year around. The garden on the city lot necessarily will have to be smaller, but by intensive methods of cropping may be made to produce enough fresh vegetables during the growing season for a small-sized family. Farm gardens are often too small for the needs of the family, because the labor required by a larger garden is thought to interfere with farm duties. Using field methods of tillage, the size of the farm garden can be increased with no increase in labor.
Many farm gardens should be relocated because continuous cropping without adequate rotation has reduced yields and quality of the vegetables. Soils for vegetable crops should be high in organic matter. The easiest way to secure this is through the application of animal manure or the plowing under of a green manure crop, preferably a legume. A good plan for the farm vegetable garden would be to plant an area in soybeans or other legumes equal to that planted to vegetables. The next year plant the vegetables on that portion of the garden in which the green manure was grown.
Select a level site or one with a gentle slope, avoiding steep slopes because small seeds and seedlings easily wash out with heavy rains. North and east exposures are preferable since they do not dry out as readily and are cooler. Protection from winds is always desirable, but of course vegetables will not grow well close to tree rows or in the shade of buildings
