In particle physics, an oblique correction refers to a particular type of radiative correction to the electroweak sector of the Standard Model.

After the gravitino has a mass, gravitational radiative corrections to soft masses are incompletely cancelled beneath the gravitino's mass.

Non-supersymmetric theories suffer from q-ratric radiative corrections to the mass squared of the electroweak Higgs boson (see hierarchy problem).

This is also true for the third class, which is furthermore protected from radiative corrections as one still has an exact (quantum) symmetry.

Since the neutrino masses cannot exceed about 1 eV, these radiative corrections must then be assumed to be fine tuned to cancel out to a large degree.

Since supersymmetry is broken, there are radiative corrections to the quartic coupling that can increase the Higgs mass.

Supersymmetry removes the power-law divergences of the radiative corrections to the Higgs mass.

To be natural, without excessive fine-tuning (i.e. to stabilize the Higgs mass from large radiative corrections), the theory requires new physics at a relatively low energy scale.

Within the Standard Model, phenomenology is the calculating of detailed predictions for experiments, usually at high precision (e.g., including radiative corrections).

The MS scheme consists of absorbing only the divergent part of the radiative corrections into the counterterms.
