The Hunt for the Higgs: Exhibition LEPFest 2000

On 5 September 2000,a number of events compatible with the production of a Higgs boson with mass around 114-115 GeV was reported in the combined results of the four LEP experiments,ALEPH,DELPHI,L3 and OPAL.However, these events are also compatible with originating from other known Standard Model processes.As a consequence, it is at present impossible either to rule out or confirm the existence of a 114-115 GeV Higgs boson.The prolongation of LEP running through October 2000 is the response to this tantalizing situation.
