As the LEP collider at CERN has increased its maximum center-of-mass energy to 209 GeV, a total integrated luminosity of 99.8 pb -1 has been collected in the ALEPH detector. The ALEPH searches for Higgs bosons have been updated, But no firm evidence for Higgs production has been observed. Standard Model Higgs boson production is excluded at 95% confidence level for Higgs masses less than 111.1 GeV/c 2, and the combined LEP results exclude Higgs masses below 113.3 GeV/c 2. The recently-granted LEP extension will allow the a currently 2σ fluctuation from background expectation at m H = 115 GeV/c 2 to become more significant if it is truly due to Higgs production.

Abstract The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS reports a study of a sample of 4 × 109 tagged π0 mesons from K+ → π+π0(γ), searching for the decay of the π0 to invisible particles. No signal is observed in excess of the expected background fluctuations. An upper limit of 4.4 × 10−9 is set on the branching ratio at 90% confidence level, improving on previous results by a factor of 60. This result can also be interpreted as a model- independent upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay K+ → π+X, where X is a particle escaping detection with mass in the range 0.110–0.155 GeV/c2 and rest lifetime greater than 100 ps. Model-dependent upper limits are obtained assuming X to be an axion-like particle with dominant fermion couplings or a dark scalar mixing with the Standard Model Higgs boson.
