By means of a low-energy theorem, we analyze at O(alpha_s G_F M_Q^2) the shifts in the Standard-Model W^+W^-H and ZZH couplings induced by virtual high-mass quarks, Q, with M_Q >> M_Z, M_H, which includes the top quark. Invoking the…

QCD corrections to the electroweak one-loop result for the partial width $\Gamma(H\rightarrow b\bar{b})$ are studied. For the decay channel into bottom quarks the rate is affected by a virtual top quark through electroweak interactions. The…

Precision electroweak measurements at LEP currently check the validity of the Standard Model to about one part in a thousand. Any successful model of physics beyond the Standard Model must be consistent with these observations. The impact…
We compute the dominant two-loop electroweak correction, of O(G_F M_t^2), to the partial width of the decay of an intermediate-mass Higgs boson into a pair of photons. We use the asymptotic-expansion technique in order to extract the…

Results of our recent re-analysis of the electroweak contribution to the relation between pole and running masses of top-quark within the Standard Model is reviewed. We argue, that if vacuum of SM is stable, then there exists an optimal…
The $W$ boson mass is one of the most important electroweak precision observables for testing the Standard Model or its extensions. The very recent measured $W$ boson mass at CDF shows about $7\sigma$ deviations from the SM prediction,…

The evidence for electroweak radiative corrections not contained in $\alpha(m_Z)$ is examined. At low energies there is very strong evidence in the analysis of the unitarity of the CKM matrix. At LEP and collider experiments the current…
