Standard Model Power Counting<br />

Since we no longer have an infinite series in the expansion of Σ, we<br />

may rather extract the factor 1/v and assign φ the mass dimension<br />

1 (instead of zero). This turns all marginal operators with Σ<br />

factors into irrelevant operators.<br />

⇒ Anomalous couplings get a natural prefactor (m H /Λ) n , if the<br />

Lagrangian term contains n factors of Σ.<br />

⇒ The custodial-symmetry violating terms get extra factors of<br />

(m H /Λ) due to the Σ factors in the T definition<br />

⇒ Either m H is small, or Λ is large, or both. Incidentally, with<br />

zero anomalous couplings the model (the Standard Model) is<br />

renormalizable, so the anomalous couplings are not needed as<br />

counterterms.
