Global Fits to Electroweak Data Using GAPP
نویسنده
چکیده
At Run II of the Tevatron it will be possible to measure the W boson mass with a relative precision of about 2 × 10, which will eventually represent the best measured observable beyond the input parameters of the SM. Proper interpretation of such an ultrahigh precision measurement, either within the SM or beyond, requires the meticulous implementation and control of higher order radiative corrections. The FORTRAN package GAPP, described here, is specifically designed to meet this need and to ensure the highest possible degrees of accuracy, reliability, adaptability, and efficiency.

The present status of precision electroweak data is reviewed. These data include measurements of ee → ff , taken at the Z resonance at LEP, which are used to determine the mass and width of the Z boson. In addition, measurements have also been made of the forward-backward asymmetries for leptons and heavy quarks, and also the final state polarisation of the τ -lepton. At SLAC, where the electro...
متن کاملThe Global Electroweak Fit in the Standard Model
A brief summary of the electroweak measurements is presented, followed by fits of the measurements within the framework of the Standard Model. The data are in very good agreement with the Standard Model predictions, and can be used to probe purely weak radiative corrections. From the measurements of the radiative corrections, the upper limit on the mass of the Higgs boson can be set at 230 GeV ...
متن کاملFits of the Electroweak Standard Model and Beyond using Gfitter
The global fit of the Standard Model to electroweak precision data, routinely performed by the LEP electroweak working groups and others, has been revisited in view of (i) the development of the new generic fitting package, Gfitter, (ii) the insertion of constraints from direct Higgs searches at LEP and Tevatron, and (iii) a more thorough statistical interpretation of the results. This paper de...
متن کاملGlobal Fits of the electroweak Standard Model and beyond with Gfitter
In the global fit of the SM using Gfitter, electroweak precision observables as well as constraints from direct Higgs searches have been compared with state-of-the-art electroweak predictions. We use the most recent results for direct Higgs searches at LEP and Tevatron and the latest measurements of mt and MW . Example results are an estimation of the mass of the Higgs boson (MH = 116.3 +15.6 −...
