SUMMING RADIATIVE CORRECTIONS TO THE EFFECTIVE POTENTIAL

Stability of Subsequent-to-Leading-Logarithm Corrections to the Effective Potential for Radiative Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

We demonstrate the stability under subsequent-to-leading logarithm corrections of the quartic scalar-field coupling constant λ and the running Higgs boson mass obtained from the (initially massless) effective potential for radiatively broken electroweak symmetry in the single-Higgs-Doublet Standard Model. Such subsequent-toleading logarithm contributions are systematically extracted from the re...

Radiative corrections to the Casimir force and effective field theories

Radiative corrections to the Casimir force between two parallel plates are considered in both scalar field theory of one massless and one massive field and in QED. Full calculations are contrasted with calculations based on employing “boundary-free” effective field theories. The difference between two previous results on QED radiative corrections to the Casimir force between two parallel plates...

Radiative corrections to the Casimir energy and effective field theory

We discuss radiative corrections to the Casimir effect from an effective field theory point of view. It is an improvement and more complete version of a previous discussion by Kong and Ravndal. By writing down the most general effective Lagrangian respecting the symmetries and the boundary conditions, we are able to reproduce earlier results of Bordag, Robaschik and Wieczorek calculated in full...

True Coincidence Summing Corrections

Radiative Corrections to E Radiative Corrections to E

We study the 1-loop corrections to the charged Higgs production both in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and in a more general type II two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM-II). We consider the full set of corrections (including soft photon contributions as well as box diagrams), and define a parametrization that allows a comparison between the two models. Besides the soft photon radiat...
