We present a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model that posseses a continuous $ U(1)_R$ symmetry, which is identified with one of three lepton numbers, and where a sneutrino vev gives mass to the down type quark and leptons. This…
The NuTeV experiment obtained high statistics samples of neutrino and anti-neutrino charged current events during the 1996-1997 Fermilab fixed target run. The experiment combines sign-selected neutrino and anti-neutrino beams and the…
The most important hint of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) from the 1995 precision electroweak data is that the most precisely measured quantities, the total, leptonic and hadronic decay widths of the $Z$ and the effective weak…
The main purpose of this thesis is to discuss the impact of electroweak precision measurements on the present knowledge of particle physics, both in the framework of the Standard Model and of its most straightforward extensions. In Chapter…
NuTeV is a neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering experiment at Fermilab. The NuTeV detector is a traditional heavy target neutrino detector which consists of an iron/liquid scintillator sampling calorimeter followed by a muon…
The present Standard Model fit of precision data has a low confidence level, and is characterized by a few inconsistencies. We look for supersymmetric effects that could improve the agreement among the electroweak precision measurements and…
This proceeding summarizes recent measurements of electroweak boson and diboson production. The results, based on data from LHC Run 2 at $\sqrt{s}=13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ and Run 3 at $\sqrt{s}=13.6\,\mathrm{TeV}$, probe the Standard Model with…
Last year the COHERENT collaboration was able to measure for the first time the Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS). Neutrinos within the right energy range can be produced in large quantities at accelerator facilities…
The RENO experiment recently reported the disappearance of reactor electron antineutrinos consistent with neutrino oscillations, with a significance of 4.9 standard deviations. The published ratio of observed to expected number of…
Some versions of the electroweak SU(3)$_L\otimesU(1)_X$ models cannot be treated within perturbation theory at energies of few TeV. An extended version for these models is proposed which is perturbative even at TeV scale posing no…
The coherence of multiscattering quark nuclear processes leads to shadowing and antishadowing of the electromagnetic nuclear structure functions in agreement with measurements. This picture leads to substantially different antishadowing for…
With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the spectrum of particles in the Standard Model (SM) is complete. It is more important than ever to perform precision measurements and to test for deviations from SM predictions in the electroweak…
We use the LHC Higgs data to derive updated constraints on electroweak-scale sterile neutrinos that naturally occur in many low-scale seesaw extensions of the Standard Model to explain the neutrino masses. We also analyze the signal…

Here we study the pattern of neutrino oscillations emerging from a previously proposed warped model construction incorporating $\Delta(27)$ flavor symmetry. In addition to a complete description of fermion masses, the model predicts the…
We consider the minimal seesaw model, the Standard Model extended by two right-handed neutrinos, for explaining the neutrino masses and mixing angles measured in oscillation experiments. When one of right-handed neutrinos is lighter than…
These notes contain some of the material I presented at TASI 96 on the comparison of the standard model with precision electroweak data. After a physical accounting of the dominant electroweak radiative corrections, including the effects of…
We study vertex corrections to the leptonic electroweak observables in the general MSSM at tan(beta) < 35. In particular, we address the question of whether supersymmetry can be responsible for the observed 2 sigma deviation from the…
