We derive bounds on nine dimension-six operators involving electroweak gauge bosons and the Higgs boson from precision electroweak data. Four of these operators contribute at tree level, and five contribute only at one loop. Using the full…

Without any mechanism to protect its mass, the self-energy of the Higgs boson diverges quadratically, leading to the hierarchy or fine-tuning problem. One bottom-up solution is to postulate some yet-to-be-discovered symmetry which forces…
