The Standard Model of particle physics encapsulates our current best understanding of physics at the smallest distances and highest energies. It incorporates Quantum Electrodynamics (the quantised version of Maxwell's electromagnetism) and…
I give a short presentation of the theoretical prediction of epsilon-prime/epsilon. Short distance and especially long distance aspects of the computation is discussed. I consentrate on the general framework and the chiral quark model…
We construct and analyze the Standard Model of electroweak and strong interactions in multiscale spacetimes with (i) weighted derivatives and (ii) $q$-derivatives. Both theories can be formulated in two different frames, called fractional…
These lecture notes cover the Standard Model (SM) course for Part III of the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos, taught during the years 2020-2023. The course comprised 25 lectures and 4 example classes. Following a brief historical…
The Standard Model (SM) does not contain by definition any new physics (NP) contributions to any observable but contains four CKM parameters which are not predicted by this model. We point out that if these four parameters are determined in…
The Dual QCD (DQCD) framework, based on the ideas of 't Hooft and Witten, and developed by Bill Bardeen, Jean-Marc Gerard and myself in the 1980s is not QCD, a theory of quarks and gluons, but a successful low energy approximation of it…
Dilepton decays of pseudoscalar mesons have been drawing particular interest, thanks to their sensitivity to both the QCD dynamics at low energy and also signals beyond the Standard Model. In this context, we shortly review our recent study…
We review the present knowledge of the Standard Model that is relevant in formulating its possible short distance extensions. We present different scenarios in terms of the Higgs mass, the only unknown parameter of the model. We concentrate…
We present theoretical results for the indirect CP violation parameter, $ |\varepsilon_K| $, evaluated directly within the Standard Model using lattice QCD inputs including $ B_K $, $ |V_{cb}| $, $ |V_{us}| $, $ |V_{ud}| $, $ \xi_0 $, $…
The Fermi effective theory of the weak interaction helped identify the structure of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, and the chiral effective Lagrangian pointed towards QCD as the theory of the strong interactions. The Standard…
The Standard Model is one of the main intellectual achievements for about the last 50 years, a result of many theoretical and experimental studies. In this lecture a brief introduction to the electroweak part of the Standard Model is given.…
We overview the detailed analysis of epsilon'/epsilon within the Standard Model, presented in ref. 1. When all sources of large logarithms are considered, both at short and long distances, it is possible to perform a reliable Standard Model…
We present the Standard Model evaluation of the indirect CP violation parameter $\varepsilon_K$ using inputs determined from lattice QCD together with experiment: $|V_{us}|$, $|V_{cb}|$, $\xi_0$, and $\hat{B}_K$. We use the Wolfenstein…
In a series of two papers, we make a comparative analysis of the performance of conventional perturbation theory to analyze electroweak phase transition in the real triplet extension of Standard Model ($\Sigma$SM). In Part I (this paper),…
The Standard Model prediction for epsilon'/epsilon is updated, taking into account the most recent theoretical developments. The final numerical value, epsilon'/\epsilon = (17\pm 6) x 10^{-4}, is in good agreement with present measurements.
For Standard Model processes in which on-shell intermediate hadronic states contribute - including inclusive semileptonic decays and long-distance effects in rare exclusive decays such as $D\to \pi \ell\ell$ and $B\to K^{(\ast)}\ell\ell$ -…

The study of Standard Model (SM) physics is crucial at the LHC for several reasons. Before any discovery can be claimed a detailed understanding of the detectors should be reached and benchmark SM processes should be measured. A precise…
Within the framework of the Standard Model, the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is unstable to radiative corrections. We discuss two broad classes of models of new physics (one with a strongly interacting and the other with a…
