You say the blue band “represents” the measured Higgs mass, but it isn’t clear what this would mean on a graph plotting top mass and W mass. If I’ve figured it out properly, the blue and green bands represent allowed values of the top and W masses given a Higgs with the mass we’ve measured, in either the standard model (blue), or the MSSM (green)? Is there any reason/importance in the difference between the widths of the two bands?
