Higgs Boson Mass Corrections at Three-Loops in the Top-Yukawa Sector of the Standard Model

Abstract: The search for new physics signals in Higgs precision measurements plays a pivotal role in the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and future colliders programs. The Higgs properties are expected to be measured with great experimental precision, implying higher-order perturbative computations of the electroweak parameters from the theoretical side. In particular, the renormalized Higgs boson mass parameter in the Standard Model shows significant variation around the electroweak scale, resulting in a lower-bound theoretical uncertainty that exceeds future collider expectations. A more stable result under the renormalization group can be computed from a non-zero external momentum Higgs self-energy, for which available calculations include 3-loop corrections in the QCD sector. In this work, we present an additional contribution by estimating the leading non-QCD 3-loop corrections to the mass of the Higgs boson in the top-Yukawa sector of order $y_t^6$. The momentum-dependent Higgs self-energy is computed in the tadpole-free scheme for the Higgs vacuum expectation value in the Landau gauge, and the explicit dependence upon the Higgs boson and top quark masses is shown. The obtained result is expressed in dimensional regularization as a superposition of a set of master integrals with coefficients that are free of poles in four space-time dimensions, and the corrections are evaluated numerically by the sector decomposition method.
