On the Renormalization of the S Parameter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We calculate the S parameter of the standard model at one loop of fermions, using three different regularizations (dimensional, Pauli-Villars and lattice) and find an extra contribution to the S parameter besides the standard one for each case. This shows that the extra contribution recently reported for the lattice regularization is {\it not} necessarily tied to the non-decoupling effect of fermion doublers. We argue that the extra contribution should be subtracted in the renormalizable perturbative expansion.
