Constraints placed on the Higgs sector from precision electroweak measurements
Abstract
In this lecture, I would like to investigate what precision electroweak measurements have to tell us about the Higgs sector. I will show that the radiative corrections to electroweak interaction observables coming from the Higgs sector can be summarized into three parameters S, T, and U. The precision measurements of the observables will constrain S and T. By comparing these constraints with the theoretically predicted values of S and T, we will be able to tell which Higgs sector theories are more viable than others.
