LHC 2015-16 and E8 Physics
Frank Dodd Tony Smith · viXra · 2015
Run-2 2015-16 of the LHC will probably, when enough data is collected, show whether or not there exist two new Standard Model Higgs mass states, around 200 GeV and around 250 GeV, each with cross sections around 25% of the full Standard Model cross section for the 125 GeV state. Run-1 results were consistent with the existence of those two new Higgs mass states, but were also consistent with their peaks being statistical fluctuations that could go away with more data from Run-2. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1 - To describe my E8 Physics Model, which predicts the existence of those two new Higgs mass states around 200 GeV and 250 GeV, and which allows calculation of realistic particle masses, force strengths, K-M parameters, Dark Energy : Dark Matter : Ordinary Matter ratio, etc, a description of which takes up pages 6 through 105 (the end) of this paper; and 2 - To describe the status of the LHC Run-2 data that will show the existence or non-existence of the two new Higgs mass states around 200 GeV and 250 GeV with cross sections about 25% or so of the 125 GeV Higgs mass state cross section, and therefore either support my E8 Physics Model or kill it. Since it may be well into 2016 before Run-2 has enough data to decide the issue, I expect to replace this paper with updated versions throughout Run-2 until it has decided the issue. Version 2 (v2) adds some details to the description of my E8 physics model. Version 3 (v3) adds material about Ghosts, Dark Energy, and AQFT Quantum Codes. Version 4 (v4) adds results of LHC Run-2 for 2015. Version 5 (v5) adds commentary on ATLAS Run-2 2015 results.
