The period 1989-2000 provided a huge yield of precise electroweak data from the LEP and SLC experiments. Many analyses of these data are now complete, but others, particularly of the full LEP-2 data samples, continue. The main electroweak…
The electroweak measurements made at LEP using 1989-1993 data are presented in preliminary form. The agreement with the Standard Model is satisfactory, and allows a combined fit to all available data for the masses of the top quark and…
This review provides an elementary discussion of electroweak symmetry breaking in the minimal and the next-to-minimal supersymmetric models with the focus on the fine-tuning problem -- the tension between natural electroweak symmetry…
Electroweak symmetry breaking is explored in a two Higgs doublet model based on a six dimensional $SU(4)$ gauge-Higgs unification compactified on an orbifold $T^2/Z_2$. The remarkable property of this model is a prediction of realistic weak…
Based on the framework of Standard Model Effective Field Theory, we performed a few global fits, each containing a subset of dimension-6 operators, for the measurements that are expected at future colliders. The fit for the Higgs and…
We study constraints on Composite Higgs models with fermion partial compositeness from electroweak precision measurements, including the 2022 $W$-boson mass result from the CDF collaboration. We focus on models where the Composite Higgs…
We have examined the evidence for the electroweak radiative corrections in the LEP precision data along with the intriguing possibility that the QED corrections only may be sufficient to fit the data. We find that the situation is very…

We review the constraints on Higgs boson properties from effective potential methods. In the Standard Model, the requirement of stability (or metastability) of the standard electroweak minimum puts an upper bound on the scale of new physics…
Off the beaten track of scalar singlet and doublet extensions of the Standard Model, triplets combine an interesting LHC phenomenology with an explanation for neutrino masses. The Georgi-Machacek model falls into this category, but it has…
Precision measurements of $Z^0$ boson properties could enable a determination of the mass of the b quark at the scale of the $Z^0$ boson mass $m_b(m_Z)$. The dependence of Standard Model predictions on the b quark mass using the program…
We discuss the validity of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SM EFT) as the low-energy effective theory for the two-Higgs-doublet Model (2HDM). Using the up-to-date Higgs signal strength measurements at the LHC, one can obtain a…
We quantify the amount of fine tuning of input parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) that is needed to respect the lower limits on sparticle and Higgs masses imposed by precision electroweak…

We present a new Little Higgs model, motivated by the deconstruction of a five-dimensional gauge-Higgs model. The approximate global symmetry is $SO(5)_0\times SO(5)_1$, breaking to $SO(5)$, with a gauged subgroup of $[SU(2)_{0L}\times…
