Violation of (semi)-detailed balance conditions in lattice gas automata gives rise to unstable spatial fluctuations that lead to phase separation and pattern formation in spinodal decomposition, unstable propagating modes, driven diffusive systems and unstable uniform flows.

One of the possible modes suggested for detecting the Higgs particle is pp → ZZ → ℓ + ℓ − ν ¯ ν, where the Higgs appears as a resonance on a Jacobian background. Unfortunately there are QCD background processes which mimic the final state and we are obliged to impose stringent kinematic cuts to remove them. However, in doing so we also remove a significant fraction of the signal. In this report...
