SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between Top and W radiative corrections and their implications for determining the Higgs mass. The participants highlight that both the Top and W mass corrections are dependent on the Higgs mass, establishing a constraint on its possible values. A key reference provided is the paper available at http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0411179, which discusses electroweak radiative corrections in detail, particularly in section V, where equation (59) outlines a relevant formula for the W mass.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electroweak theory
  • Familiarity with particle mass corrections
  • Knowledge of the Higgs mechanism
  • Basic proficiency in mathematical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the paper at http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0411179 for detailed insights on electroweak radiative corrections
  • Explore the derivation of equation (59) in the context of W mass calculations
  • Research the implications of Top quark mass on Higgs mass limits
  • Investigate additional literature on radiative corrections in quantum field theory
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, particle physicists, and researchers focused on Higgs boson studies and electroweak interactions.

I'm trying to understand the attached plot giving limits on the Higgs Mass based on radiative corrections to the Top and W mass. I know the general idea that both mass corrections depend on the Higgs mass, therefore knowing the mass of the two particles limits the range of the Higgs mass, but I'm looking for references that might offer a deeper understanding of the math/physics involved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
