An electroweak model of SU(3) $\times$ U(1) gauge group is studied. {}From the group theoretical constraint, the symmetry breaking of this model to the standard model occurs at 1.7~TeV or lower. Hence the mass of the new neutral gauge boson…
The measurement of the mass of the W boson, m_W, by direct reconstruction is described. The combination of all measurements of the four LEP experiments yields m_W = 80.412 +- 0.042 GeV. Together with several other measurements the extracted…
We consider an extended electroweak gauge group: SU(2)$_1 \times$ SU(2)$_2 \times$ U(1)$_Y$ where the first and second generation of fermions couple to SU(2)$_1$ and the third generation couples to SU(2)$_2$. Bounds based on heavy gauge…
We present a complete calculation of the singly and doubly charged gauge bosons (bileptons) contribution to the static properties of the W boson in the framework of the minimal 331 model, which accommodates the bileptons in an SU_L(2)…
Bilepton masses in the 3-3-1 models and the recently announced E821 experiment result are discussed. We get bounds on the bilepton masses 243 GeV $\leq M_Y \leq $ 357 GeV in the minimal model and 70 GeV $\leq M_Y \leq $ 115 GeV in the model…
We consider a recent proposal by Dimopoulos and Kaplan to embed the electroweak SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y into a larger group SU(3)_W X SU(2) X U(1) at a scale above a TeV. This idea is motivated by the prediction for the weak mixing angle sin^2…
The ununified standard model is an extension of the standard model that contains separate electroweak gauge groups for quarks and leptons. When it was originally proposed, data allowed the new gauge bosons to be quite light. We use recent…
We discuss extension of the electroweak gauge group to $SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R \times U(1)_{XL} \times U(1)_{XR}$. This adds new leptons to the familiar 331-model. The explanation for three light quark-lepton families remains but new…
Theoretical backgound for bileptonic gauge bosons is reviewed, both the SU(15) GUT model and the 3-3-1 model. Then the mass limits for bileptons are discussed coming from $e^+e^-$ scattering, polarized muon decay and muonium-antimuonium…
Mass bounds for doubly-charged bilepton gauge bosons are derived from constraints on fermion pair production at LEP and lepton-flavour violating charged lepton decays. The limit obtained of 700 GeV for the doubly-charged bilepton does not…
The extension of the Standard Model by a spontaneously broken abelian gauge group based on the L(mu)-L(tau) lepton number can resolve the longstanding discrepancy between experimental and theoretical values for the magnetic moment of the…
Gauge boson masses for a minimal $SU(4)_{EW} \otimes U(1)_{B-l}$ model]{Following the general procedure of spontaneous symmetry breaking of a $SU(4)_{EW} \otimes U(1)_{B-l}$ electroweak gauge group with left-right symmetry, we obtain the…
Despite being remarkable predictive, the Standard Model leaves unanswered several important issues, which motivate an ongoing search for its extensions. One fashionable possibility are the so-called 331 models, where the electroweak gauge…
A linear realization of a model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking describing additional heavy vector bosons is proposed. The model is a SU(2)_L x U(1) x SU(2)_L' x SU(2)_R' gauge theory, breaking at some high scale u to SU(2)_weak…
The $W$ boson mass is one of the most important electroweak precision observables for testing the Standard Model or its extensions. The very recent measured $W$ boson mass at CDF shows about $7\sigma$ deviations from the SM prediction,…
We provide a detailed analysis of the decays of doubly-charged bilepton gauge bosons $Y^{\pm\pm}$, as predicted in models based on a $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ symmetry. In addition to the decay modes into same-sign lepton pairs,…
We present the one-loop radiative corrections to the muon decay in U(1)$_z$ extensions of the standard model. We compute the mass of the $W$ boson using those corrections and compare it to an approximation of the complete one-loop…
It is suggested that the observed excess of muons in studies of $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV arises from the decay of doubly-charged bosons. Such particles are predicted in the 3-3-1 model where the electroweak gauge…
The presently most accurate prediction for the W-boson mass in the Standard Model is obtained by combining the complete two-loop result with the known higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections. The numerical impact of the different…
We make the assumption that the vacuum correlators of the gauge invariant kinetic term of the Higgs doublet are the same before and after the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the theory. Based on this we determine the mass of the standard…
