LEP precision on electroweak measurements was sufficient not to hamper the extraction of Higgs couplings at the LHC. But the foreseen permille-level Higgs measurements at future lepton colliders might suffer from parametric electroweak…

Assuming a SM or MSSM scenario, one expects a light Higgs boson which could be studied in great detail with a LC operating at \sqrt s>m_h+m_Z. In the TESLA scenario, with 500 fb^-1 accumulated at \sqrt s = 350 GeV, about 10^5 hZ events…
