Electroweak Physics: Precision Studies

  • 1. Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York, 11973 (United States)

Description

The utility of precision electroweak measurements for predicting the Standard Model Higgs mass via quantum loop effects is discussed. Current values of mW, sin2 θW(mZ)MS and mt imply a relatively light Higgs which is below the direct experimental bound but possibly consistent with Supersymmetry expectations. The existence of Supersymmetry is further suggested by a 2σ discrepancy between experiment and theory for the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Constraints from precision studies on other types of 'New Physics' are also briefly described
