On the Renormalization of the S Parameter
arXiv:hep-ph/9204218 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(92)91400-4
Abstract
We calculate the S parameter of the standard model at one loop of fermions, using three different regularizations (dimensional, Pauli-Villars and lattice) and find an extra contribution to the S parameter besides the standard one for each case. This shows that the extra contribution recently reported for the lattice regularization is {\it not} necessarily tied to the non-decoupling effect of fermion doublers. We argue that the extra contribution should be subtracted in the renormalizable perturbative expansion.
