We discuss the development of the theory of electroweak radiative corrections and its role in testing the Standard Model, predicting the top quark mass, constraining the Higgs boson mass, and searching for deviations that may signal the…
The Standard Model of electroweak interactions has been recast as a gauge free theory where the fields present in the Lagrangian are made inert under $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ gauge transformations. Furthermore, the residual $U(1)_{em}$ gauge…
We present a comparative study of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking and conventional standard model breaking, and pose the question whether experiments can distinguish one breaking mode from the other. The importance of the problem…

We review briefly the current status of thermal phase transitions within the Standard Model and its simplest extensions. We start with an update on QCD thermodynamics, then discuss the electroweak phase transition, particularly in…
The goal of these lectures is to introduce readers with a basic knowledge of undergraduate physics (specifically non-relativistic quantum mechanics, special relativity, and electromagnetism) to the `current theory of everything': the…

A basic introduction to the physics of the Standard Model Higgs boson is given. We discuss Higgs boson production in $e^+e^-$ and hadronic collisions and survey search techniques at future accelerators. The Higgs bosons of the minimal SUSY…
We study extensions of the Standard Model with general new vector bosons. The full Standard Model gauge symmetry is used to classify the extra vectors and constrain their couplings. We derive the corresponding effective Lagrangian, valid at…
These lectures describe why one believes there is physics beyond the Standard Model and review the expectations of three alternative explanations for the Fermi scale. After examining constraints and hints for beyond the Standard Model…
In the first lecture, the Standard Model is reviewed, with the aim of seeing how its successes constrain possible extensions, the significance of the apparently low Higgs mass indicated by precision electroweak experiments is discussed, and…

I argue that the Fermilab Tevatron will contribute to our knowledge of the pieces of the standard model that we know the least about. I discuss five of the most important areas in which the Tevatron can confront the standard model:…
