Abstract

Carefully analyzing the dependence of the bounds on the Higgs-boson mass \MH derived from the observables \swbar2(\LEP), \swbar2(\SLD), \Gl, \MW, \GT, \Gh, as well as \Rb and \Rc, and considering the uncertainties in α(\MZ2) and αs(\MZ2), we find that a stronger bound than 40\GeV\lsim\MH\lsim 1\TeV at the 1σ level can hardly be deduced at present, even if the experimental information on the top-quark mass \Mt from direct production is taken into account.
