The resonances and composed particles are used in the calculations, so if this result is true, it would involve new things that are not in the standard model.

We studied only the simple version that has only one Higgs field :(, so I don’t know what type I/II means, but using Google, I found this (see slide #6), that starts with a not very technical introduction: http://www.umich.edu/~mctp/SciPrgPgs/events/2007/kanefest/ha...

Yeah resonances and such would be new, but nothing as exciting as say a charged Higgs. I think they found some previously undiscovered resonance particle at the LHC a few months ago, but it didn't really even make the news outside physics.

Thanks for the link, that was actually really helpful. I wonder why the paper doesn't say anything about if their data would fit a type I or type III charged Higgs. Probably has something to do with whether leptons are considered to be up or down type (?) and thus how the charged Higgses would couple in the given process.
