Description
Electroweak precision observables are of utmost importance for testing
and constraining physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). The indirect
constraints on new physics obtained from precision observables
are complementary to the direct searches for new physics carried out
at the LHC and elsewhere.
The MW-MZ interdependence is highly sensitive to quantum effects
from the entire particle spectrum of a given model. In order to
fully exploit the improved experimental accuracy expected at the LHC,
a precise theoretical prediction for the W boson mass in various models beyond the SM is desired.
We present results for the W boson mass prediction in the MSSM with complex parameters, including all known higher-order corrections of SM- and SUSY-type.
The implications of LHC search limits on electroweak precision observables are discussed.
