Almost: the result is 85 GeV, the measured mass is 80.4 GeV.
Is there anybody who has ever looked at this coincidence?

arivero said:For exponential times the Planck mass, there are usually renormalization group arguments: "one expects that Me*sqrt(G)*Exp(1/alpha or similar) to be of order unity, if G is the ultimate cutoff "
The W boson is an elementary particle that is part of the Standard Model of particle physics. It is responsible for the weak nuclear force and is one of the fundamental particles that make up the universe.
The Planck mass is a unit of mass that is derived from Planck's constant, the speed of light, and the gravitational constant. It is considered to be the highest possible mass that can exist in the universe.
This expression is a result of theoretical calculations and is based on the relationship between the W boson and the Higgs field. The Higgs field gives particles their mass and the W boson's mass is a direct result of its interaction with this field. The value of exp(-4pi^2) is used to account for the strength of this interaction.
The W boson mass was determined through experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Scientists used data from these experiments to calculate the mass of the W boson and confirmed its value to be close to exp(-4pi^2) of a Planck mass.
This relationship between the W boson mass and the Planck mass is significant because it helps to support the Standard Model of particle physics. It also provides insight into the fundamental forces and particles that govern the universe and their interactions with the Higgs field.
