The mass of the Higgs particle

Creators

Description

I review bounds on the mass of the Higgs particle and discuss the naturalness of the Fermi scale within the context of the standard model. For a Higgs particle mass below 140 GeV the standard model is consistent up to energy scales around the Planck mass. The small ratio between the Fermi scale and the Planck mass Mp is as natural as the ratio me/Mp for QED. (author). 26 refs, 13 figs
