NLO correction to Higgs boson parameters in the 1/N expansion

Abstract

We present the result of a calculation of the next-to-leading correction to the Higgs propagator in the 1/N expansion, where the Higgs sector is treated as an O(N) symmetric sigma-model. The results are compared with two-loop perturbation theory. The existing discrepancy between the lowest order of the 1/N expansion and perturbation theory is dramatically reduced by including the NLO in 1/N. We find a maximum effective Higgs mass of 930-980 GeV. We give an approximate relation between Higgs width and mass, which can be used for phenomenological purposes.
