The most reliable prediction for the Higgs-boson mass, M_H, is obtained in a fit to the leptonic Z-resonance observables Gamma_l and swbar^2 combined with the W-boson mass, M_W, and top-quark mass, m_t, measurements. The corresponding…

We present strong indirect evidence for the contribution of bosonic electroweak corrections in the Standard Model. Although important conceptually, these corrections give subleading contributions in current high energy experiments, and it…
The dominant electroweak corrections to the production cross sections and partial decay widths of a light Standard-Model Higgs boson, with mass M_H << 2m_t, are due to top-quark loops. By means of a low-energy theorem, we study at the…

Extra neutral gauge bosons and Higgs bosons in an effective low-energy $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_I \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_{Y^{\prime}}$ model, which is a subgroup of $E_6$, are studied. $SU(2)_I$ is a subgroup of $SU(3)_R$ and commutes with…

An electroweak (EW) model has been investigated (Moffat) in which the energy $E < \mu=\sqrt{\lambda}M_W$, where $\lambda$ is a gauge parameter and $M_W$ is the $W$ boson mass. For large enough $\lambda$ the scalar boson mass…
