Precision W -Boson and Higgs Boson Mass Determinations at Muon Colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
Precise determinations of the masses of the W boson and of the top quark could stringently test the radiative structure of the Standard Model (SM) or provide evidence for new physics. We analyze the excellent prospects at a muon collider for measuring MW and mt in the W W and ZH threshold regions. With an integrated luminosity of 10 (100) fb, the W -boson mass could be measured to a precision of 20 (6) MeV, provided that theoretical and experimental systematics are understood. A measurement of ∆MW = 6 MeV would constrain the mass of a ∼ 100 GeV Higgs to about ±10 GeV. We demonstrate that a measurement at future colliders of the Bjorken process. With an integrated luminosity of 100 fb it is possible to measure the Standard Model Higgs mass to within 45 MeV at a μμ collider for mh = 100 GeV.

متن کاملHiggs sector radiative corrections and s-channel production.
Higgs boson mass sum rules of supersymmetric models offer attractive targets for precision tests at future muon colliders. These sum rules involve the gauge boson masses as well as the masses of the Higgs boson states which can be precisely measured in the s-channel production process at a muon collider. These measurements can sensitively probe radiative corrections to the Higgs boson masses as...

The status of precision electroweak measurements as of summer 2002 is reviewed. The recent results on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and on neutrino-nucleon scattering are discussed. Precision results on the electroweak interaction obtained by the experiments at the SLC, LEP and TEVATRON colliders are presented. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the minima...
