Electroweak Parameters in the $\bar{MS}$-Scheme

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-02-03 v2

Abstract

We study electroweak parameters sensitive to the radiative corrections, such as ρ\rho-ratio and \hff\hff decay rates in the \ms\ms-scheme in the heavy tt-quark mass limit mtmwm_{t} \gg m_{w}. In \ms\ms-scheme the two-loop electroweak corrections mt4\sim m_{t}^{4} dominate over the QCD corrections \asmt2\sim \as m_{t}^{2} in the ρ\rho-ratio. The relation between the on-shell coupling constants and \ms\ms-parameters is found to be rather sensitive to the Higgs boson mass.
