Precision Electroweak Measurements and the Higgs Mass

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

The utility of precision electroweak measurements for predicting the Standard Model Higgs mass via quantum loop effects is discussed. Current constraints from mWm_W and \sinsthw\mzms\sinsthw\mzms imply a relatively light Higgs \lsim154\lsim 154 GeV which is consistent with Supersymmetry expectations. The existence of Supersymmetry is further suggested by a discrepancy between experiment and theory for the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Constraints from precision studies on other types of ``New Physics'' are also briefly described.
