RE: The South African Madala boson strikes back (and is still very alive)
The second image is of proton-lead collisions that resulted in a QGP being observed in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions which were not expected, since there they expected a lower order of magnitude in size collisions.
Wtf, how come is an H for the madala? isn't the h for supersymmetry stuff, I checked again. Are you trying to get killed? (joking)
No, in all seriousness I know nothing of particle physics but the idea of some way to interact with dark matter if it turns out to be true is interesting but most likely someone jumped the gun.
Ahaha we have a winner here. The post is about proton-proton collisions and not about heavy ion stuff! A small upvote for you ^^
In the Standard Model, there is a single Higgs boson so that the letter 'h' or 'H' is used equivalently. In supersymmetry, you have at least 5 Higgs bosons. In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, there are hence 'h0', 'H0', 'A0', H+ and H-. The small h is the standard-model-like Higgs boson and the capital H is its cousin.
Actually, in models with an extended Higgs sector, this h/H naming scheme is very common. This is why the Madala is named H: it is another Higgs boson after all, nothing more.
This is at the basis of many dark matter models. You have a mediator linking the dark matter to the standard model sector. Here, the Madala is this mediator. :)
