Abstract
Recent calculations have significantly decreased the scheme and residu al scale dependence of basic radiative corrections of the Standard Ele ctroweak Model. This leads to a theoretically accurate prediction of t he W-boson mass M-W, as well as a reduced upper bound for the Higgs bo son mass M-H. The implications of a precise M-W measurement on the M-H estimate are emphasized. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
