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…
This is a pedagogical and self-contained review on obtaining electroweak precision constraints on TeV scale new physics using the effective theory method. We identify a set of relevant effective operators in the standard model and calculate…
I review recent theoretical work on electroweak symmetry breaking.
I summarize our work of electroweak discussion section held at the 14th International Workshop on Weak Interactions and Neutrinos. We discussed about a few physics topics related to electroweak interactions, including $B$ and $K$ physics…
We study the properties of the electroweak theory in the vicinity of the critical point --- the endpoint of the first order phase transition line that exists in a wide class of theories, including the Standard Model and a part of the…
Discovering the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking is the outstanding question facing particle physics today, and the answer will be found in the next decade. In these lectures I discuss the range of models which have…
A connection is made between a model for strongly interacting vector bosons and the spontaneously broken theory of gravity. The theory contains effectively no Higgs particle, but should have strong interactions at the electroweak scale.…
We review the prospects for studies in electroweak physics at the LHC.
Energy-growing electroweak corrections in the Standard Model are potentially relevant for LHC physics, for Next generation of Linear Colliders (NLCs) and for ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. I present here the results of recent work in which…
The object of this thesis is the study of some open problems in the electroweak matter sector from an effective theory perspective. The topics studied include: General aspects of dynamical symmetry breaking models, studying what traces…
I review recent progress on the electroweak phase transition and baryogenesis, focusing on the minimal supersymmetric standard model as the source of new physics.
In these four lectures I review the theory and phenomenology of weak decays of quarks, and their r\^ole in the determination of the parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics, in testing subtle features of the theory and in…
This paper contains a review of recent precision measurements of electroweak observables and resulting tests of the electroweak Standard Model.
The effective renormalizable theory describing electromagnetic and strong interactions of quarks of five light flavors ($n_f = 5$ QCD$\times$QED) is considered as a low-energy limit of the full Standard Model. Two-loop relation between the…
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…
A brief review is given of precision electroweak physics, and its implications for establishing the standard model and constraining the possibilities for new physics at the TeV scale and beyond.
I summarize the status of the ElectroWeak Interactions after the first phase of the Large Hadron Collider and I give an outlook on its possible developments.
I quickly review the successes of quantum chromodynamics. Then I assess the current state of the electroweak theory, making brief comments about the search for the Higgs boson and some of the open issues for the theory. I sketch the…
We propose a model of a confining dark sector, dark technicolor, that communicates with the Standard Model through the Higgs portal. In this model electroweak symmetry breaking and dark matter share a common origin, and the electroweak…
