Bounds on the Higgs Boson Mass from M W ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent experimental and theoretical progress in the MH estimates from MW and sin θ eff is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the role played by Mt. Assuming that the SM is correct and taking into account the lower bound on MH from direct searches, we derive restrictive bounds on MW and Mt. We also discuss a representative “benchmark” scenario for the possible future evolution of these parameters. Amusingly, this benchmark scenario suggested some time ago a value for Mt that turned out to be in very close agreement with its most recent experimental determination. ∗Talk given by G.

Implications of Electroweak Precision Data on Bounds on the Higgs-boson Mass
Carefully analyzing the dependence of the bounds on the Higgs-boson mass MH derived from the observables s̄ W (LEP), s̄ W (SLD), Γl, MW, ΓT, Γh, as well as Rb and Rc, and considering the uncertainties in α(M Z) and αs(M 2 Z), we find that a stronger bound than 40GeV < ∼ MH < ∼ 1TeV at the 1σ level can hardly be deduced at present, even if the experimental information on the top-quark mass mt from...
متن کاملLower Higgs boson mass bounds from a chirally invariant lattice Higgs-Yukawa model with overlap fermions
We study the coupling parameter dependence of the Higgs boson mass in a chirally invariant lattice Higgs-Yukawa model emulating the same Yukawa coupling structure as in the Higgs-fermion sector of the Standard Model. Eventually, the aim is to establish non-perturbative upper and lower Higgs boson mass bounds derived from first principles, in particular not relying on vacuum stability considerat...
متن کاملHiggs Searches at the Tevatron a
The Higgs boson is the last missing particle in the Standard Model (SM). Its mass is not determined by the SM, there are however several experimental constraints which bound the Higgs mass to values which are within the reach of the Tevatron collider. Lower bounds are given from direct searches at LEP2. These results exclude Higgs masses below 114.4 GeV at the 95% Confidence Level (C.L.) 1. An ...
متن کاملRemarks on the upper bounds on the Higgs boson mass from triviality.
We study the effects of the one-loop matching conditions on Higgs boson and top quark masses on the triviality bounds on the Higgs boson mass using βλ with corrected twoloop coefficients. We obtain quite higher results than previous ones and observe that the triviality bounds are not nearly influenced by varying top quark mass over the range measured at CDF and D0. The effects of typo errors in...
متن کاملNaturalness Lowers the Upper Bound on the Lightest Higgs boson Mass in Supersymmetry
We quantify the extent to which naturalness is lost as experimental lower bounds on the Higgs boson mass increase, and we compute the natural upper bound on the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson mass. We find that it would be unnatural for the mass of the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson to saturate it’s maximal upper bound. In the absence of significant fine-tuning, the lightest Higgs bos...
متن کاملThe Littlest Higgs Model and One-Loop Electroweak Precision Constraints
We present in this talk the one-loop electroweak precision constraints in the Littlest Higgs model, including the logarithmically enhanced contributions from both fermion and scalar loops. We find the one-loop contributions are comparable to the tree level corrections in some regions of parameter space. A low cutoff scale is allowed for a non-zero triplet VEV. Constraints on various other param...
