Abstract

The Higgs boson mass used to be the only unknown input parameter of the electroweak contributions to (g-2)_μ in the Standard Model. It enters at the two-loop level in diagrams with e.g. top loops, W- or Z-exchange. We re-evaluate these contributions, providing analytic expressions and exact numerical results for the Higgs boson mass recently measured at the LHC. Our final result for the full Standard Model electroweak contributions is (153.6±1.0)*10^-11, where the remaining theory error comes from unknown three-loop contributions and hadronic uncertainties.
