We present an updated study of the systematic errors in the measurements of the electroweak boson cross-sections at the LHC for various experimental cuts for a center of mass energy of 7, 10 and 14 TeV. The size of both electroweak and NNLO…
If there is explicit violation of baryon plus lepton number at some energy scale, then the electroweak theory depends upon a {\theta}-angle. Due to a singular integration over small scale size instantons, this {\theta}-dependence is…
Recently, the CDF collaboration reported a new measurement of the $W$ boson mass $M_W = 80.4335 \pm 0.0094$ GeV, which shows a $\sim 7\sigma$ deviation from the standard model prediction $80.3545 \pm 0.0057$ GeV obtained by the electroweak…

Heavy charged bosons, with masses in the range of a few TeV, are a characteristic of warped extra-dimensional models with bulk gauge fields. Rendering the latter consistent with electroweak precision tests typically requires either a…

We obtain limits on generic vector-like leptons at the TeV scale from electroweak precision tests. These limits are complementary to the ones obtained from lepton flavour violating processes. In general, the quality of the global…

An electroweak (EW) model has been investigated (Moffat) in which the energy $E < \mu=\sqrt{\lambda}M_W$, where $\lambda$ is a gauge parameter and $M_W$ is the $W$ boson mass. For large enough $\lambda$ the scalar boson mass…
Various types of electroweak-interacting particles, which have non-trivial charges under the $\mathrm{SU}(2)_L \times \mathrm{U}(1)_Y$ gauge symmetry, appear in various extensions of the Standard Model. These particles are good targets of…
We explore the ability of the Large Hadron Collider to measure the mass of the W boson. We believe that a precision better than 15 MeV could be attained, based on a year of operation at low luminosity (10^{33} cm^-2 s^-1). If this is true,…
A measurement of the mass of the W boson is presented which is based on a sample of 5982 W -> e nu decays observed in pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector during the 1992-1993 run. From a fit to the transverse mass…
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…
