Is the resonance at 125 GeV the Higgs boson?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-05 v2

Abstract

The recently discovered resonance at 125 GeV has properties remarkably close to those of the Standard Model Higgs boson. We perform model-independent fits of all presently available data. The non- standard best-fits found in our previous analyses remain favored with respect to the SM fit, mainly but not only because the {\gamma}{\gamma} rate remains above the SM prediction.
