Abstract
We compute the dominant two-loop electroweak correction, of O ( G F M t 2 ) , to the partial width of the decay of an intermediate-mass Higgs boson into a pair of photons. We use the asymptotic-expansion technique in order to extract the leading dependence on the top-quark mass plus four expansion terms that describe the dependence on the W- and Higgs-boson masses. This correction reduces the Born result by approximately 2.5%. As a by-product of our analysis, we also recover the O ( G F M t 2 ) correction to the partial width of the Higgs-boson decay to two gluon jets.
