Orion1 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) My calculation for the Higgs boson mass for the Standard Model. The Higgs boson mass is equal to one-half the Higgs vacuum expectation value. Higgs boson mass: [math]m_H = \frac{v_h}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{(\hbar c)^3}{\sqrt{2} G_F}} = 123.111 \; \frac{\text{Gev}}{\text{c}^2}[/math] [math]\boxed{m_H = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{(\hbar c)^3}{\sqrt{2} G_F}}}[/math] CERN Higgs boson mass: [math]m_H = 125.3 \pm 0.6 \; \frac{\text{Gev}}{\text{c}^2}[/math] Which implies that the Higgs boson achieves mass from the Higgs field vacuum via the Higgs mechanism.

Mafio Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Interesting. But I am not sure if I understand the implication correctly... Are you suggesting that the difference between your calculation and the measurement is caused by the Higgs field itself? Then, can you calculate this difference the other way around (I mean starting from the expectation)?

Orion1 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Are you suggesting that the difference between your calculation and the measurement is caused by the Higgs field itself?[/Quote]No' date=' [/color']the Higgs boson achieves mass from the Higgs field vacuum via the Higgs mechanism. The difference between my calculation and the measurement is due to the mathematical limitations in the model presented. Mathematical models constructed by scientists do not always agree absolutely exactly with experimental observations, there are often variances. Can you calculate this difference the other way around (I mean starting from the expectation)?[/Quote] The most accurate expectation value I have read to date' date=' places the Higgs boson mass at around 115 Gev. Why the parameter value is 1/2? Do you have any reason? Empirical coefficient from the yesterday announcement?[/Quote] The parameter value of 1/2 is an empirical coefficient due to integration and the quantum properties of the Higgs boson, a spin-0 particle for example.

Severian Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) The biggest problem I can see with your prediction, is that you pulled it out of your ass. Where did you get [math] v_h = \sqrt{\frac{(\hbar c)^3}{\sqrt{2} G_F}}[/math] from? Perhaps you were meaning to write [math] M_W = \frac{g}{2} \sqrt{\frac{(\hbar c)^3}{\sqrt{2} G_F}}[/math]? The difference between this and your "prediction" is that this is derived from the theory. Admittedly, it is mildly interesting that [math]M_W \approx g M_H[/math] but it is most likely coincidence.

Severian Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) That's better, but it is not what you wrote before. Now you correctly have the [math]\lambda[/math] in the Higgs mass, and since you don't know [math]\lambda[/math] you no longer have a Higgs mass prediction. Edited July 19, 2012 by Severian
