Hi Liantao, Good comment. We'll fix this… best Chip On Aug 24, 2013, at 2:17 PM, LianTao Wang <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Hi Michael and Chip, In the V4 version of the executive summary, the last part of the first paragraph of the energy frontier section reads "Questions about the Higgs boson also inspire the search for the dark matter particles and for flavor-changing rare decays, since in both cases, the motivating theory often comes from models of the Higgs and its role in symmetry-breaking." I found this to be a bit confusing. It is true that the new physics scenarios addressing the naturalness of Higgs mass (such as SUSY, compositeness) sometimes contains dark matter candidate, and have flavor structure (problem). However, there are plenty of other motivations for both the search for dark matter (they exist) and deviations in rare decays (flavor puzzle), other than its possible connection with the Higgs. Perhaps we should say there are well motivated searches for dark matter and new contributions to rare decays. Then say they can also have interesting connections to Higgs. best, Liantao On Sat, Aug 24, 2013 at 10:24 AM, Ashutosh Kotwal <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: hi, One comment on the Global Exec Summary - on the last page, there is a nice list of 10 HEP questions. In question 9, there is a phrase "the problem of the Higgs boson" which seems nebulous and dangling, i.e. "which problem ??" Presumably this is referring to the naturalness of the Higgs potential parameters. Is there some non-jargon phrase that can be added to explain what problem this is referring to? Something like "….are motivated by the conundrum of maintaining a light Higgs boson mass in a quantum theory, and…" regards, Ashutosh On Aug 23, 2013, at 3:03 PM, Raymond Brock <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: hi During our conversation: Here's what we got during our phone conversation.

I inserted all of Jon's and Gil's comments and Jonathan's new version of the big questions to the best of my ability. Inexplicably, Jon's and Gil's line numbers did not correspond with my version. Go figure. One comment on Gil's corrections, is that I think both Harry and I felt strongly that it actually was a realization at Snowmass that neutrino physics has entered the precision era. So I left that phrase in the text. Re Jonathan's revision of the questions - they look good to me! I left in the first "How do we understand" phrase for the Higgs boson, as it seems to be very accurate there.
