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 11...

The upgrade of the LEP center-of-mass energy to 130 and 136 GeV (LEP 1.5) at the end of 1995 ooered the possibility to test the Standard Model in this new energy regime. In this report we describe the LEP results on the properties of multihadronic events at p s = 130{136 GeV including measurements of s (133 GeV). In addition, studies of four fermion processes at this new energy scale are presen...

INTRODUCTION The emergency telephone number 9-1-1 serves as a lifeline to the public during emergencies, and first responders rely on information gathered by 9-1-1 telecommunicators who speak with callers. Timely, accurate information from the telecommunicators is essential for providing appropriate care on scene. Language barriers can hamper these efforts and result in less efficient informati...

¿Habla español? Ba. n có nói tiếng viҲt? If you don't, then make sure you bring the interpreter into that patient's room. Not only is it likely your hospital's policy and a Joint Commission requirement, 1 but it's also good medical care. The pediatric literature over the past few decades has highlighted the importance of quality interpretation for Limited English Profi cient (LEP) patients to p...

Leptin (LEP) is associated with appetite regulation and metabolism. Concentration is linear with adiposity, suggesting LEP resistance. LEP circulates freely and bound with its soluble receptor (sOB-r); the ratio is the free leptin index (FLI), an index of leptin resistance; lower FLI suggests reduced biological action. Purpose. The aim was to determine the effect of changes in adipose tissue di...

California is home to one-third of the U.S. population with limited English proficiency (LEP). Studies indicate that treating LEP patients without professional interpreters can result in miscommunication, decreased patient satisfaction, and serious medical errors. To address this problem, federal laws require all health care institutions receiving federal monies to provide interpretation servic...

We search for the neutral Higgs sector of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model at LEP 2. At the tree level any experimental constraints on tan β cannot be set by the Higgs search at LEP 2 with √ s = 175 GeV, whereas at LEP 2 with √ s = 192 GeV tan β can be set by an experimental constraint. Furthermore the tree level parameter space of the model can be completely explored by the Hi...

Searches for supersymmetry at LEP allowing for R p are reviewed. The results are compared with the R p conserving scenario. Searches for supersymmetry at LEP allowing for Rp are reviewed. The results are compared with the Rp conserving scenario.
