Well, I'm not sure if we're going to actually see a Higgs boson as opposed to a definitive effect of the Higgs field. Perhaps we'll see a concentration of the Higgs field in a localized area of space, due to some reaction. So we won't actually be seeing individual Higgs bosons, just the effect of lots of them at once. Yousuf Khan -- Yousuf J. Khan ykhan@achilles.net Ottawa, Ont, Canada Nation's capital
