Electroweak Precision Tests of the Standard Model after the Discovery of the Higgs Boson

2019
The global fit of the Standard Modelpredictions to electroweak precision data, which has been routinely performed in the past decades by several groups, led to the prediction of the top quarkand the Higgs bosonmasses before their respective discoveries. With the measurement of the Higgs bosonmass at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, the last free parameterof the Standard Modelof particle physicshas been fixed, and the global electroweak fit can be used to test the full internal consistency of the electroweak sector of the Standard Modeland constrain models beyond. In this article, we review the current state-of-the-art theoretical calculations, as well as the precision measurements performed at the LHC, and interpret them within the context of the global electroweak fit. Special focus is drawn in the impact of the Higgs bosonmass on the fit.
