چکیده
We review the results of the Standard Model Higgs boson search at LEP. An emphasis is put on revealing the details behind the statistical procedure developed by the LEP Higgs working group. The procedure is explained using a toy model which allows the reader to estimate the significance of the experimental observation which led at the time to a scientific debate on whether LEP has observed a 115 GeV Higgs boson.

Production and Decay of the Standard Model Higgs Boson at LEP200
We collect and update theoretical predictions for the production rate and decay branching fractions of the Standard Model Higgs boson that will be relevant for the Higgs search at LEP200. We make full use of the present knowledge of radiative corrections. We estimate the systematics arising from theoretical and experimental uncertainties.

متن کاملImposed cost induced by traffic injuries on society in 2021
Background and Aim: Due to the importance of the cost of traffic injuries, in addition to mental and social suffering, as well as the increasing trend of accident statistics and the lack of information about the cost estimation based on a willingness to pay model, this research was conducted on the findings of traffic injuries in 2021. Materials and Methods: The research was done by descr...
