GigaZ: High Precision Tests of the SM and the MSSM
Abstract
Description
The high-energy lepton collider TESLA can be operated in the GigaZ mode on the Z resonance, producing a billion Z bosons per year. This will allow the measurement of the effective electroweak mixing angle to an accuracy much better than one part in 10,000. Similarly, the W boson mass is expected to be measurable with an error of 6 MeV near threshold. We discuss the impact of these observables on the accuracy with which the Higgs boson mass can be determined from loop corrections within the Standard Model. We also study indirect constraints on new mass scales within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.
