The Indirect Limit on the Standard Model Higgs Boson Mass from the Precision FERMILAB , LEP and SLD Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Standard Model fits are performed on the most recent leptonic and b quark Z decay data from LEP and SLD, and FERMILAB data on top quark production, to obtain m t and m H. Poor fits are obtained, with confidence levels ≃ 2%. Removing the b quark data improves markedly the quality of the fits and reduces the 95% CL upper limit on m H by ≃ 50 GeV.

The Indirect Limit on the Standard Model Higgs Boson Mass
Standard Model fits are performed on the most recent leptonic and b quark Z decay data from LEP and SLD, and FERMILAB data on top quark production, to obtain m t and m H. Poor fits are obtained, with confidence levels ≃ 2%. Removing the b quark data improves markedly the quality of the fits and reduces the 95% CL upper limit on m H from 169 GeV to 110 GeV.
متن کاملSearches and Prospects for the Standard Model Higgs Boson at the Tevatron
The Higgs boson is the only elementary scalar particle expected in the standard model (SM). Its discovery would be a major success for the SM and would provide new experimental insights into the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. Direct measurements at LEP have excluded a SM Higgs boson with a mass mH < 114.4 GeV at 95% C.L. but constraints from precision measurements nevertheless favor a...
متن کاملHiggs Physics: from LEP to a Future Linear Collider
New preliminary combined results from the LEP experiments on searches for the Higgs boson beyond the Standard Model are presented. The new determination of the top quark mass at the Tevatron in 2004 influences the interpretations of the LEP results in both, the Standard Model, and the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. Higgs boson physics will also be a major research area ...
متن کاملHiggs Searches at Lep and at the Tevatron
After years of efforts to push the LEP performance to, and indeed beyond, the limits of what had been believed possible, hints of a signal of a Higgs boson at 115GeV/c appeared in June 2000, were confirmed in September, and confirmed again in November. Spending an additional six-month period with LEP would have given the unambiguous opportunity of a fundamental discovery. Instead, this possibil...
متن کاملHiggs-mass predictions and electroweak precision observables in the Standard Model and the MSSM∗
Higher-order results for electroweak precision observables in the Standard Model are analyzed in view of the experimental accuracies achievable at the present and the next generation of colliders, and the indirect prediction of the Higgs-boson mass from the precision data is discussed. Within the MSSM, two-loop results for the lightest CP-even Higgs-boson mass are confronted with the exclusion ...
