Hi Stefan,
Glad that you are here on Steemit! The more scientists we are, the best it is :)
Just to trigger the discussion: I honestly have several concerns with the last (maybe I have missed some update in the meantime) Madala boson analysis that you wrote. The reason is that the analysis includes all channels where there is some tension, but not all the other channels potentially sensitive to the boson where the Standard Model fully agrees with data. I am looking forward to an update of your paper where you reinterpret more BSM searches than just those showing tension.
I hope something will be discovered at the LHC, but I don't think this will be a Madala. My opinion here :)
Cheers, and maybe see you in June (I will lecture at ASP-2018 in Windhoek)
PS: don;'t hesitate to come to discord to say hi :)
Thanks, I hope I can contribute towards the growing community! :)
I understand the concerns about the work, and many of them came perhaps from a premature press release (which I had nothing to do with). There is usually a concern with other SM observables which could potentially exclude the Madala boson, and trying to find them is quite a huge task! Hopefully some tools like Gambit and CheckMATE can help us there... I will cover this in a blog when I get around to that work.
All the best in Windhoek, I’ll see if I can make it!

There are other tools as well (like MadAnalysis 5)... I also have a concerns with respect to Gambit ;)
