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…
We discuss the bound on the mass of the Higgs boson arising from precision electroweak measurements in the context of the triviality of the scalar Higgs model. We show that, including possible effects from the underlying nontrivial…

Electroweak precision observables (EWPO) can give valuable information about the last unknown paramter of the Standard Model (SM), the Higgs-boson mass M_H^SM. EWPO can also restrict the parameter space of new physics models (NPM) such as…
In this talk I will give a brief introduction to Little Higgs models in general, including an overview of all models in existence thus far. I then review some of the generic constraints on these models from electroweak precision…
Electroweak Baryogenesis is a particularly attractive theoretical scenario, since it relies on physics which can be tested at present high energy collider facilities. Within the Standard Model, it has been shown that the requirement of…
Because of two 3 sigma anomalies, the Standard Model (SM) fit of the precision electroweak data has a poor confidence level, CL= 0.010. Since both anomalies involve challenging systematic issues, it might appear that the SM could still be…
Overall, the Standard Model describes electroweak precision data rather well. There are however a few areas of tension (charged current universality, NuTeV, (g-2)_\mu, b quark asymmetries), which I review emphasizing recent theoretical and…
We review the present status of Higgs physics within the standard model and its extensions. First, we briefly summarize the current experimental exclusion limits from the direct searches with LEP1 and the Tevatron, and assess the discovery…
Recent published and preliminary precision electroweak measurements are reviewed, including new results on the mass of the top quark and mass and width of the W boson. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the…

The electroweak symmetry may be broken by a composite Higgs which arises naturally as a bound state of the top quark if the standard model gauge fields and fermions propagate in extra dimenions. The top quark mass and the Higgs mass can be…
