Supersymmetry, Baryon Number Violation and a Hidden Higgs David E Kaplan Johns Hopkins University
Summary LEP looked for a SM Higgs and didn t find it. Both electroweak precision measurements and supersymmetric theories prefer a Higgs mass lighter than the LEP bound. Non-standard decays of the Higgs severely weakens current bounds and opens up SUSY parameter space New LEP(!) analyses are warranted. Higgs searches at the Tevatron and the LHC in these channels are a challenge...

Conclusions Did we miss the Higgs at LEP? A Higgs which decays to a multi-jet final state happens in SUSY parameter space and allows mh ~ mz. LEP analyses should continue! There are Higgses that LEP can see and the LHC can t. We are now exploring a Tevatron study.
