About top quark mass again

In his latest blog posting of Tommaso Dorigo summarizes the latest measurement of top quark mass by CDF. Top quark is experimentally in a unique position since toponium does not exist and top quark mass is that of free top. Therefore top quark mass provides a stringent test for TGD based mass calculations based on p-adic thermodynamics.

1. The prediction for top quark mass depends on second order contributions to electron mass and top mass parameterized by numbers Y_t and Y_t varying in the interval [0,1). This contribution is of order one per cent. Once Y_e is fixed, the CP₂ size (and mass scale) is fixed completely from electron mass.
2. The prediction for top quark mass is 167.8 GeV for Y_t=Y_e=0 (vanishing second order corrections) and 169.1 GeV for Y_t=1 and Y_e=0 (maximal possible mass for top). The prediction is reduced for Y_e>0 since CP₂ mass scale is reduced.
3. The experimental estimate for m_t remained for a long time somewhat higher than the prediction of TGD. The previous experimental average value was m(t)=169.1 GeV with the allowed range being [164.7, 175.5] GeV (see the blog posting of Tommaso Dorigo). The fine tuning Y_e=0,Y_t=1 giving 169.1 GeV is somewhat un-natural.
4. The most recent value obtained by CDF reported in detail by Tommaso Dorigo is m_t=165.1+/- 3.3+/- 3.1 GeV. This represents lower bound for the mass consistent for Y_e=Y_t=0. The prediction increases for Y_t>0. Clearly, TGD passes the stringent test posed by the top quark mass.
