Possible Finiteness of the Higgs-Boson Mass Renormalization

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v2

Abstract

It is shown by explicit calculation that the one-loop mass renormalization of the Higgs boson in the standard model is gauge-independent. It could even be rendered finite if the following mass relationships were satisfied: mt2mH2=(2MW2+MZ2)/3m_t^2 \simeq m_H^2 = (2 M_W^2 + M_Z^2)/3. Numerically, this would imply mt84 GeVm_t \simeq 84~GeV which is below the current experimental lower bound of 91 GeV, but since higher-order corrections are yet to be calculated, the above hypothesis could still have a chance of being realized.
