The Role of M(W) in Precision Studies of the Standard Model
arXiv:hep-ph/9708311 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(97)01440-8
Abstract
Recent calculations have significantly decreased the scheme and residual scale dependence of basic radiative corrections of the Standard Electroweak Model. This leads to a theoretically accurate prediction of the W-boson mass M(W), as well as a reduced upper bound for the Higgs boson mass M(H). The implications of a precise M(W) measurement on the M(H) estimate are emphasized.
