Upper Limit on the Higgs Particle Mass

Abstract

It is shown that the effective Standard Model theory with the physical Higgs mass lighter than $\sim 200$ GeV takes the form of an unbroken electroweak theory already at moderately high, $O(1TeV)$, energy scales. No such transitional scale exists for the heavier Higgses. This result is independently obtained by two standard regularization methods.
