9 High exp. precision and th. precision Exp. precision at the level o 0.1% How accurate are theoretical predictions? we have to rely on perturbation theory the theoretical accuracy is given by the size o the next (not calculated) perturbative order the tree-level approximation has an uncertainty o the order o several %, as proved by the calculated eects at one-loop approximation = we need to include higher order eects γ, Z γ, Z in the loop we have to sum over all possible (also heavy) particles which couple to γ and/or Z theoretical predictions depend also on top quark mass! (not yet discovered at the start o LEP1) and other possible heavy ermions F. Piccinini (INFN) PhD course 2014, Pavia May / 34

10 Not only ermions but also bosons... γ, Z γ, Z Z Z Z γ, Z, Z γ, Z H H γ, Z γ, Z Z Z γ, Z γ, Z, H H γ, Z, Z γ, Z, Z Theoretical predictions become sensitive to all the spectrum and structure o the theory: m t, number o light neutrinos, m H, non abelian γ and Z vertices Precision physics at the Z peak is eectively discovery physics F. Piccinini (INFN) PhD course 2014, Pavia May / 34

11 SM One-loop calculations (in a nutshell) irst step: regularization and renormalization according to a chosen renormalization scheme in the gauge sector three input parameters needed to be ixed with three experimental data (like in QED the electric charge is ixed order by order through the ine structure constant) the experimental error on the input parameters will induce parametric uncertainties on the theoretical predictions the three typically used input experimental measurements are: α, G F and M Z ater ixing the parameters we can calculate every observable order by order in perturbation theory also M is calculated: M 2 = 4 2πα 8G µ sin 2 (1 + r) ϑ r = r(α, G µ, M Z, m top, m H, α s (M 2 Z)) F.
