We study the theoretical correlation between the Higgs mass of the minimalstandard model and the scale at which new physics is expected to occur. Inaddition to the classic constraints of unitarity, triviality and vacuumstability, we reexamine the constraints imposed by the precision electroweakdata. We then pay particular attention to the constraint imposed by the absenceof fine-tuning in the Higgs mass parameter (the Veltman condition). We findthat the fine-tuning condition places a significant constraint on the newphysics scale for the Higgs mass range 100 GeV < m_h < 200 GeV mostlyunconstrained by the classic constraints.Comment: 19 pages Latex, 2 figure
