On the Lower Bound for the Higgs Boson Mass

Abstract

We provide an alternative derivation of a lower bound on the mass of the Higgs boson which is somewhat simpler and more direct than the derivation based on the effective potential. For one TeV cutoff, the result is the same. For high scale cutoff, the lower bound is increased by slightly more than the expected uncertainty of the calculation.
