You can download the current version of HiggsBounds here: </td><td valign="top"><a href="http://www.hepforge.org/archive/higgsbounds/HiggsBounds-3.1.0beta.tar.gz"> HiggsBounds-3.1.0beta.tar.gz </a>. This package is still in beta and requires a Fortran 90/2003 compiler (note to gfortran users: you will need version 4.2 or higher). If you require a Fortran 77 version of the code, please use version <a href="downloads_detailed.html">2.1.1</a> instead. As always, please contact us if you have any problems with the installation.        ( <a href="downloads_detailed.html">show history</a> )
</p>
<p>Version 3.1.0beta includes an <a href="http://home.fnal.gov/~skands/slha/">SLHA</a> interface. For HiggsBounds 2.x.x, a beta version of an SLHA interface can be downloaded here: </td><td valign="top"><a href="http://www.hepforge.org/archive/higgsbounds/HB2.x.x-beta-SLHA-extension.tar.gz"> HB2.x.x-beta-SLHA-extension.tar.gz</a>. (This requires a Fortran 90/2003 compiler.)
<td valign="top"> Improved SLHA interface: subroutine version and HBwithSLHA run 6 times faster, commandline version runs 12 times faster. We provide a new program (HBSLHAinputblocksfromFH) that uses FeynHiggs 2.8.0 subroutines to create a SLHA file suitable for input to HiggsBounds. See notes in the beginning of HBSLHAinputblocksfromFH.f90 for further instructions. We have also updated the example program HBwithFH (which demonstrates how HiggsBounds subroutines and FeynHiggs subroutines can be used together) to use FeynHiggs 2.8.0. We have also added one more CDF analysis.<br>
23.05.11: Couple of lines added to make sure the code compiles with Portland Fortran compiler. If you are not using the Portland compiler there is no need to change your copy of HiggsBounds-3.1.0beta.
+<br>
+24.05.11: Renamed HBSLHAinputblocksfromFH.f90 to HBSLHAinputblocksfromFH.F90 and fixed a typo in this file.
<td valign="top"><b>Major changes:</b> Includes LHC Higgs searches. Sinces this requires a lot of extra theoretical information, this required substantial changes in the user interface: see the <a href="manual3.0.0beta.pdf">updated manual</a> for more information.<br>
<td valign="top"><b>Major changes:</b> Includes charged Higgs searches and a wider range of neutral Higgs searches. Sinces this requires a lot of extra theoretical information, this required substantial changes in the user interface: see the <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1102.1898">updated manual</a> for more information.<br> 16.03.11: replaced the -for-comparison files in the HiggsBounds-f77 folder (they had not been generated with the most up-to-date copy of HB 2.0.0). No changes made to the code itself. </td>
<td valign="top">More tables of Tevatron results added, where they require no new input to HiggsBounds. New versions of the files HBwithCPsuperH.f and HBwithCPsuperH.input, which can be used in conjunction with the version of CPsuperH2.0 from 10 June 2009. (Old versions are also still included). Bug fixed in the sample program HBwithFHdemo (calculation of g2hjgg).<br> 24.02.2010: some line breaks added to files HiggsBounds-f77/TEV-bound.F and HiggsBounds-f77/analyses-descriptions.h, so that code now compiles with the Intel Fortran compiler. (Thanks go to Shehu AbdusSalam)
<td valign="top">Many new tables of experimental results added (see the output of the webversion for full list). Note that this release only includes experimental results which require no new input from the HiggsBounds user - we will shortly release another version which will deal with these extra results. Slight change to Standard Model results such that they agree more precisely with those used by the Tevatron experiments (see the file br.input for the input given to HDecay to get these branching ratios). The variable 'whichexpt' has been renamed 'whichanalyses', since future verions will have the option of including results from published experimental analyses only. The file HBwithFH.F is designed to be used in conjunction with FeynHiggs version 2.6.5. The package also includes the file HBwithFH2.6.4.F, which is suitable for FeynHiggs version 2.6.4. Note that these are not interchangeable.
<td valign="top">F90 version: changes made to ensure it compiles with g95 (Some changes also made to aid compilation with the NAG compiler. However, note that <code>HiggsBounds</code> has not been properly tested with this compiler).
Edited <code>HiggsBounds-f90/create_store_pathname.bat</code> to cope with arbitrarily long paths.
Named some sample output files more concisely.
Commentaries in <code>HiggsBounds-f77/makefile.in</code> improved.</td>

<h2>Referencing HiggsBounds</h2>
<p>If you use HiggsBounds, please cite <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/0811.4169" target="_blank">arXiv:0811.4169</a> (Comput.Phys.Commun.181:138-167,2010) and <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1102.1898" target="_blank">arXiv:1102.1898</a>.</p>
<p>HiggsBounds incorporates many results from experimental searches and SM calculations. To make it quicker for users to access these references, we provide a list as a <a href="extra/minipaper.bib" target="_blank">.bib file</a> and a <a href="extra/minipaper.bbl" target="_blank">.bbl file</a>. (This example <a href="extra/minipaper.tex" target="_blank">.tex file</a> cites each of these sources once, creating this <a href="extra/minipaper.pdf" target="_blank">.pdf file</a>).

<h2>Quick start guide</h2>
<ol>
<li>unpack the <code>.tar.gz</code> file </li>
<li><code>cd</code> to either the directory <code>HiggsBounds-f77</code> or <code>HiggsBounds-f90</code> (doesn't matter which)</li>
<li><code>./configure</code></li>
<li><code>make</code></li>
<li>run the program <code>HiggsBounds</code> using the command-line options
The HiggsBounds package also contains simple example programs showing the use of the HiggsBounds subroutines, including programs demonstrating the use of HiggsBounds in conjunction with <a href="http://www.feynhiggs.de" target="_blank">FeynHiggs</a> or <a href="http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/u/jslee/CPsuperH.html" target="_blank">CPsuperH</a>.
