Higgs-mass dependence of two-loop corrections to Delta r

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

The Higgs-mass dependence of the Standard Model contributions to the correlation between the gauge-boson masses is studied at the two-loop level. Exact results are given for the Higgs-dependent two-loop corrections associated with the fermions, i.e. no expansion in the top-quark and the Higgs-boson mass is made. The results for the top quark are compared with results of an expansion up to next-to-leading order in the top-quark mass. Agreement is found within 30% of the two-loop result. The remaining theoretical uncertainties in the Higgs-mass dependence of Delta r are discussed.
