1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Estimation of oblique electroweak corrections" ?
The authors review the general analysis of the contributions of electroweak vacuum polarization diagrams to precision experiments.. The authors first, review the representation of these contributions by three parameters S, T, and U, and discuss the assumptions involved in this reduction.. The authors then discuss the contributions to these parameters from various models of new physics.. The authors show that S can be computed by a dispersion relation, and they use this technique to estimate S in technicolor models of the Higgs sector.. The authors discuss the reliability and the gauge invariance of this estimate.. Finally, the authors present the limits on S and T imposed by current experimental results.
