At Tevatron, that turned out to be false rumours.
The odds that it will be found at the LHC are rather slim. I've been brushing up on Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking. I hadn't touched that stuff for years. The whole theory can only make sense if there is a Higg boson. Now, I'm wondering what will happen if the Higgs is completely ruled out. There are a few higgless ( I know, new word to add to the lexicon) theories, but none of them satify renormalization and/or unitarity. I've got six textbooks on QFT on my desk, each one has a chapter/section on this topic, followed by several chapters based on SSB. If Higgs is out, do I get to have a refund? Bummer.
