Remarks on the Value of the Higgs Mass from the Present LEP Data
Abstract
We perform a detailed comparison of the present LEP data with the one-loop standard-model predictions. It is pointed out that for mt= 174 GeV the ``bulk'' of the data prefers a rather large value of the Higgs mass in the range 500-1000 GeV, in agreement with the indications from the W mass. On the other hand, to accommodate a light Higgs it is crucial to include the more problematic data for the τ F-B asymmetry. We discuss further improvements on the data taking required to obtain a firm conclusion.
