Bounds on particle masses in the Weinberg-Salam model

Abstract

Various conditions necessary for the self-consistency of the Weinberg-Salam model are used to place constraints on fermion and Higgs Boson masses. We find that spontaneous symmetry breakdown cannot generate fermion masses in excess of about 300 GeV.
