A set of equations representing the $W/Z$ mass ratio and various observables of $Z$ decays in terms of $\bar\alpha \equiv\alpha (m_Z)$, $G_{\mu}$, $m_Z$, $m_t$, $m_H$, $\bar\alpha_{s} \equiv\alpha_{s} (m_Z)$, $m_b$ and $m_\tau$ (all other…
Recent higher-order results for the prediction of the W-boson mass, M_W, within the Standard Model are reviewed and an estimate of the remaining theoretical uncertainties of the electroweak precision observables is given. An updated version…
The renormalization of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model of electroweak interactions is presented to all orders of perturbation theory using the algebraic method. Special attention is directed to the issues of soft supersymmetry…
We discuss the radiative corrections to charged and neutral current deep-inelastic neutrino--nucleon scattering in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). In particular, we study deviations, delta_R^nu(nu-bar), from the Standard…
The recent measurement by the CDF Collaboration of the $W$ boson mass is in significant tension with the Standard Model expectation, showing a discrepancy of seven standard deviations. A larger value of $m_W$ affects the global electroweak…
We critically reexamine the precision tests of the standard model by coupling the current world average value of $M_W$ with the recent LEP electroweak data with the aid of a modified ZFITTER program to include the dominant two-loop and…
I discuss the possibility of estimating the shift $\delta\Delta\alpha(M_Z^2)$ on the running of the EM-coupling to the $M_Z$ scale, induced by the discrepancy $\Delta a_{\mu}$ between two precise determinations of the hadronic vacuum…
The dominant electroweak two-loop corrections to the precision observables M_W and s_w^eff are calculated in the MSSM. They are obtained by evaluating the two-loop Yukawa contributions of O(alpha_t^2), O(alpha_t alpha_b), O(alpha_b^2) to…
The electroweak corrections of order ${\cal O}(\alpha_{\rm em} m^2_{t,b}/m^2_w)$ and ${\cal O}(\alpha_{\rm em} m^3_{t,b}/m^3_w)$ to Higgs boson associated production with top quark pair are calculated at $e^+e^-$ colliders in the standard…
The NuTeV Collaboration has measured the electroweak parameters sin^2 theta_W and rho in neutrino-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering using a sign-selected beam. The nearly pure neutrino or antineutrino beams that result provide many of the…
The discrepancy between the Standard Model theory and experimental measurement of the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a_{\mu}=\left(g_{\mu}-2\right)/2$, is connected to precision electroweak (EW) predictions via their common dependence on…
It happens that $s^2$ and $\hat s^2$ are equal with 0.1% accuracy, though they are split by radiative corrections and a natural estimate for their difference is 1%. This degeneracy occurs only for $m_t$ value close to $170\GeV$, so no deep…
The Lee-Wick (LW) Standard Model (SM) offers a new solution to the hierarchy problem. We discuss, using effective potential techniques, its peculiar ultraviolet (UV) behaviour. We show how quadratic divergences in the Higgs mass Mh cancel…
The atomic dipole polarizability, $\alpha$, and the van der Waals (vdW) radius, $R_{\rm vdW}$, are two key quantities to describe vdW interactions between atoms in molecules and materials. Until now, they have been determined independently…
The Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model for N=2 generations is extended to 8 composite Higgs multiplets by using a one-to-one correspondence between its complex Higgs doublet and very specific quadruplets of bilinear quark operators. This is the…
We theoretically study a scheme to develop an atomic based MW interferometry using the Rydberg states in Rb. Unlike the traditional MW interferometry, this scheme is not based upon the electrical circuits, hence the sensitivity of the phase…
It has been confirmed experimentally the existence of a mass gap between Standard Model (SM) and eventual Beyond Standard Model (BSM) fields. Therefore, the use of effective approaches to search for fingerprints of New Physics is very…
We construct a Standard Model (SM) extension with $T^\prime\times Z_{10} \times Z_2$ symmetry for generating the expected neutrino mass matrix with the relation $(M_\nu)_{13}=(M_\nu)_{31}=-\frac{1}{2}(M_\nu)_{22}$ via the contributions of…
Using the S--matrix pinch technique we obtain to one loop order gauge independent $\gamma W^-W^+$ and $Z W^-W^+$ vertices in the context of the standard model, with all incoming momenta off--shell. We show that the vertices so constructed…
Using a general (non-linear) effective field theory description of the Standard Model electroweak symmetry breaking, we analyse the impact on the electroweak oblique parameters of hypothetical heavy resonance states strongly coupled to the…
