Recently, the CDF Collaboration has announced a new precise measurement of the W-boson mass MW that deviates from the Standard Model (SM) prediction by 7σ. The discrepancy in MW is about ΔW ≃ 70 MeV and is probably caused by a beyond the SM physics. Within a certain scenario of extension of the SM, we obtain the relation ΔW ≃ 3α8πMW ≃ 70 MeV, where α is the electromagnetic fine structure constant. The main conjecture is the appearance of longitudinal components of the W-bosons as the Goldstone bosons of a spontaneously broken additional SU(2) global symmetry at distances much smaller than the electroweak symmetry breaking scale rEWSB. We argue that within this scenario, the masses of charged Higgs scalars can obtain an electromagnetic radiative contribution which enhances the observed value of MW± with respect to the usual SM prediction. Our relation for ΔW follows from the known one-loop result for the corresponding effective Coleman–Weinberg potential in combination with the Weinberg sum rules.
