Chris Quigg explains what to look for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisquigg\/status\/262607603752906752\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The LHC has just recently passed the milestone of 20 fb<sup>-1<\/sup> of data at 8 TeV this year. Perhaps this will get up to 25 fb<sup>-1<\/sup> by the end of this run later this year. After a heavy ion run early next year the machine will go into a long shutdown (until late 2014) for repairs to allow operation at close to design energy (probably at 13 TeV).  Next week results will be reported based on 12 fb<sup>-1<\/sup> (CMS) and 13 fb<sup>-1<\/sup> (ATLAS) of this year&#8217;s 8 TeV data (compare to this past summer&#8217;s results based on 5.3 fb<sup>-1<\/sup> (CMS) and 5.9 fb<sup>-1<\/sup> (ATLAS)).  Expect results from the full 2012 data at Moriond in March, with an official combination of results from the two experiments next summer.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday LHCb will report the latest results on B(s)->mu+mu-, and the latest Higgs news should come at the Higgs parallel session on Wednesday.  There will also be quite a few new, stronger limits on SUSY.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hearing that these new results already can rule out the idea that this new particle is a pseudo-scalar.   There will be no confirmation of an unexpectedly high gamma-gamma rate.   Some excesses in the tau-tau channel are being seen, of roughly the size you would expect for a SM Higgs.  So, all in all, things are still consistent with a SM Higgs.  If not, please let me know&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>:  The B(s)->mu+mu- results from LHCb are out (see <a href=\"http:\/\/kds.kek.jp\/getFile.py\/access?contribId=61&#038;sessionId=25&#038;resId=0&#038;materialId=slides&#038;confId=9237\">here<\/a>), providing good agreement with the SM, and new, strong limits on possible SUSY models (see the last slide).
