DETERMINATION OF THE HIGGS BOSON MASS BY THE CANCELLATION OF ULTRAVIOLET DIVERGENCES IN THE SU(2)L⊗U(1) THEORY

Abstract

We assume the vanishing of the quadratic divergences in the SU(2)_L⊗U(1) electroweak theory. Using the top mass value reported recently by the CDF collaboration m_t= 176±8±10 GeV, we predict the mass of the Higgs boson to be m_H=321±29 GeV. If we assume the vanishing of both quadratic and logarithmic divergences of the top self-mass, we predict m_t=170.5±0.3 GeV and m_H=308.6±0.7 GeV.
