我们提出了通用希格斯参数空间的最新约束。对这些排除的准确评估必须考虑到大型强子对撞机当前获取的数据的统计波动和潜在的信号波动。为此，我们构建了一种简单的统计方法，以充分利用公开的数据。我们表明，使用每个搜索通道引用的预期和观察到的排除，我们可以在非常合理和简单的假设下完全重建似然剖面。即使使用这些有限的信息，我们也表明我们的方法足够准确，足以保证其研究并提倡使用它而不是更简单的处方。使用这种方法，我们可以开始缩小类希格斯标量态的剩余可行参数空间，并确定数据中出现的新物理学（希格斯或其他）任何暗示的性质。
We present up-to-date constraints on a generic Higgs parameter space. An accurate assessment of these exclusions must take into account statistical, and potentially signal, fluctuations in the data currently taken at the LHC. For this, we have constructed a straightforward statistical method for making full use of the data that is publicly available. We show that, using the expected and observed exclusions which are quoted for each search channel, we can fully reconstruct likelihood profiles under very reasonable and simple assumptions. Even working with this somewhat limited information, we show that our method is sufficiently accurate to warrant its study and advocate its use over more naive prescriptions. Using this method, we can begin to narrow in on the remaining viable parameter space for a Higgs-like scalar state, and to ascertain the nature of any hints of new physics—Higgs or otherwise—appearing in the data.
