The Standard Model at 200 GeV
Abstract
The Standard Model can be defined quantitatively by running parameters in a mass-independent renormalization scheme at a fixed reference scale. We provide a set of simple interpolation formulas that give the fundamental Lagrangian parameters in the MS scheme at a renormalization scale of 200 GeV, safely above the top-quark mass and suitable for matching to candidate new physics models at very high mass scales using renormalization group equations. These interpolation formulas take as inputs the on-shell experimental quantities, and use the best available calculations in the pure MS scheme. They also serve as an accounting of the parametric uncertainties for the short-distance Standard Model Lagrangian. We also include an interpolating formula for the W boson mass.
