I overview the status of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking problem, paying special attention to the possible signals of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (and at a Linear Collider)
We give a survey on current constraints on the Inert Doublet Model parameter space, including all theoretical as well as experimental limits from collider and astrophysical data. For allowed regions in the parameter space, we provide total…
We discuss two models that extend the Standard Model by additional particles, leading to additional scalar states, and also providing dark matter candidates. We briefly review the current constraints and comment on production cross sections…
This part offers a survey of models proposed to cope with the symmetry-breaking challenge. Among them are the two-component neutrinos, the neutrino twins, the universal Fermi interaction, etc. Moreover, the broken discrete symmetries in…
I review some aspects of $K$ and $B$ physics both in the context of the standard model and in some cases in a scenario which is rather different from the standard model. I discuss, in particular, where we are likely to see deviations from…
The violation of spacetime symmetries provides a promising candidate signal for underlying physics, possibly arising at the Planck scale. This talk gives an overview over various aspects in the field, including some mechanisms for Lorentz…
Assuming that the scale of new physics exceeds the weak scale, we have considered all possible origins of deviations from the Standard Model in $\gmu2$. If the underlying theory can be treated perturbatively, then to account for an effect…
Additional Z' gauge bosons are predicted by a wide variety of extensions of the standard model (SM). Possibilities include TeV-scale bosons with electroweak coupling, very light bosons which nearly decouple from the standard model…
We review the status of heavy neutral gauge bosons, Z', with emphasis on constraints that arise in supersymmetric models, especially those motivated from superstring compactifications. We first summarize the current phenomenological…
We consider the possibility that physics beyond the standard model contributes to the decays B -> V1 V2, where V1 and V2 are vector mesons. We show that a time-dependent angular analysis of B -> V1 V2 decays provides many tests for this new…
We review present Z' bounds, discuss future Z' constraints from TEVATRON, HERA and LEP, and give a brief review of the Z' diagnostics at future colliders.
We give a short introduction to the concept of low energy supersymmetric models and their phenomenological predictions. In view of the future LEP II results we have to parametrize these predictions in a model independent way without too…
This note discusses the matter of probing Beyond the Standard Model physics and how, to succeed in this quest, the interpretations of the Standard Model regarding observed phenomena must be utilized with caution. We give several specific…
In this talk I discuss the motivations for supersymmetry, focussing on models with broken R-parity and lepton number. After describing the main theoretical features of these models, I discuss some of the signals expected at colliders such…
We present a critical review about the study of linear perturbations of matched spacetimes including gauge problems. We analyse the freedom introduced in the perturbed matching by the presence of background symmetries and revisit the…
This is a report of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Beyond the Standard Model Working Group which was prepared for the Division of Particles and Fields Committee for Long Term Planning. We study the phenomenology of electroweak…
In this talk I review modern theories of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and some of their signatures at Run II of the Tevatron collider.
An overview of recent theoretical developments in rare leptonic B decays is given. New physics effects on branching ratio and CP violation in the decays are analyzed in models beyond SM (supersymmetric models and two Higgs doublet models).
Here I briefly discuss why supersymmetry is considered a leading candidate of physics beyond the standard model. I also highlight the salient features of different supersymmetry breaking models. A few other symmetries, broken or intact,…
I argue that the limits on this quantity obtained using model-independent parameterizations contain an tacit assumption that could be invalidated under a variety of situations. As a specific example, existing limits on $\Lambda $ would be…
