Abstract

The presently most accurate prediction for the W-boson mass in the standard model is obtained by combining the complete two-loop result with the known higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections. The numerical impact of the different contributions is analyzed in detail. A simple parametrization of the full result is presented, which approximates the full result for M_W to better than 0.5 MeV for 10GeV<~M_H<~1TeV if the other parameters are varied within their combined 2\ensuremathσ region around their experimental central values. The different sources of remaining theoretical uncertainties are investigated. Their effect on the prediction of M_W is estimated to be about 4 MeV for M_H\ensuremath\lesssim300GeV.
