  abstract     = {In this paper we consider a canonical compactification of M, the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree over a Riemann surface Σ, producing a projective variety M̄ = M ∪ Z. We give a detailed study of the spaces M̄, Z and M. In doing so we reprove some assertions of Laumon and Thaddeus on the nilpotent cone.},
