Abstract

Considering the standard model as an effective electroweak theory, in which we have no scalar mass term in the Higgs potential $(I^¼^{2} = 0)$ , we show that the spontaneous symmetry breaking of $S U (2)_{L} \times U (1)$ can be induced by top loops. The Higgs boson mass obtained is smaller than 300 GeV.
