| Description |
New results of searched for the Higgs boson were presented by ATLAS, CMS, CDF and D0 collaborations in Moriond 2012. I review features of the new results and discuss potentially emerging anomalies in Higgs boson data. Performing a phenomenological fit to all data, the standard model Higgs boson with a mass 125 GeV correctly predicts the average observed rate and provides an acceptable global fit. However, better fits are obtained by non-standard scenarios that better reproduce the anomalies in present data. I consider implications of this result for the standard model, for supersymmetric and fermiophobic Higgs bosons, and for dark matter models. More data should decide whether we presently fit fluctuations around the standard model prediction or emerging picture of new physics.
