“…In various recent publications we have addressed and attempted to answer the fundamental question of how many Higgs bosons could we expect to discover within an energy range not too much larger than that of the electroweak [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Not surprisingly, the answer to this question depended crucially on the theory used and this in turn on the energy scale for which the theory is valid.…”

“…Not surprisingly, the answer to this question depended crucially on the theory used and this in turn on the energy scale for which the theory is valid. For instance any simplistic analysis based on the 496 gauge bosons of E 8 E 8 predict (496)/8 = 62 elementary particles for the standard model [4,5]. Subtracting the 60 experimentally confirmed particles leaves us with two particles which logically must be within the energy range of the standard model and may be conjectured to be one graviton and one Higgs boson [7].…”

“…Clearly this theory with 528 states corresponds to higher energy range than that with only 496 Yang-Mills photons of E 8 E 8 . The extra six particles were subsequently interpreted as a gravitation-related sextet extending our traditional standard model which does not include gravity in any fundamental way [4][5][6][7].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
