We discuss the bound on the mass of the Higgs boson arising from precision electroweak measurements in the context of the triviality of the scalar Higgs model. We show that, including possible effects from the underlying nontrivial…
Precision electroweak data are generally believed to constrain the Higgs boson mass to lie below approximately 190 GeV at 95% confidence level. The standard Higgs model is, however, trivial and can only be an effective field theory valid…
The fit of precision electroweak data to the Minimal Standard Model currently gives an upper limit on the Higgs boson mass of 170 GeV at 95% confidence. Nevertheless, it is often said that the Higgs boson could be much heavier in more…
Using the invariance of the electroweak vacuum in the presence of a background Z field we estimate the mass of the Higgs boson in the standard model at m_H=125.9 GeV.
An updated fit to the precision electroweak data and to the direct measurement of the top quark mass $m_t$ provides significant constraints on $m_t$ and on the Higgs boson mass $M_H$: $m_t/\text{GeV}=172\pm 6$ and…

The potential of a linear e+e- collider operated at a centre-of-mass energy of 350 GeV is studied for the measurement of the Higgs boson mass. An integrated luminosity of 500 fb-1 is assumed. For Higgs boson masses of 120, 150 and 180 GeV…
We obtain the bounds on all the gauge invariant, flavour symmetric, CP-even operators of dimension 6 that can affect the electroweak precision tests. For the preferred Higgs mass of about 100 GeV, their minimal scales range from 2 to 10…

We make the assumption that the vacuum correlators of the gauge invariant kinetic term of the Higgs doublet are the same before and after the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the theory. Based on this we determine the mass of the standard…
We perform a global fit to high energy precision electroweak data in a Higgs model containing the usual isospin doublet plus a real isospin triplet. The analysis is performed in terms of the oblique parameters S, T and U and we show that…
In supersymmetric models with minimal particle content and without large left-right squarks mixing, the conventional knowledge is that the Higgs Boson mass around 125 GeV leads to top squark masses ${\cal O}(10)$ TeV, far beyond the reach…
