TOP QUARK MASS = v- ā TIER A-STAR PROOF
Prove that the top quark pole mass equals the null-cone VEV: m_t(tree) = v- = v/sqrt(2+phi) ~ 129.45 GeV. Show this is a zero-free-parameter prediction. Note the QCD radiative correction: m_t(pole) ~ m_t(tree) * (1 + 4*alpha_s/3pi + ...) bringing tree value toward PDG 172.57 +/- 0.29 GeV. Assess whether the -25% tree gap is standard QCD or requires algebraic correction. #SuperGrokTOE #TopQuark #TierA
