I think they refer to it as the plain vanilla standard model which could be incorrect if the Higgs turns out to be one of the more exotic variants. Again as far as I can understand all of this - and I an NOT a physicist even if its another Higgs its still the standard model but another variant of it.
As it happens the physicists appear to be all but certain it is the plain vanilla standard model Higgs and strangely they are somewhat disappointed that this is the case. Apparently they feel it was all a bit too easy. I hear Hawkins is gutted - and lost a bet on it to boot.
