I shortly review the present status of the theoretical estimates of eps'/eps. I consider a few aspects of the theoretical calculations which may be relevant in understanding the present experimental results. I discuss the role of higher…
We quantify the important effect of strong final state interactions in the weak $K\to 2\pi$ amplitudes, using the measured $\pi$-$\pi$ phase shifts with J=0 and $I=0,2$. The main results of this analysis, with their implications for…
We update the bounds on fermions with electric charge $\epsilon e$ and mass $m_\epsilon$. For $m_\epsilon\lsim m_e$ we find $10^{-15}\lsim\epsilon<1$ is excluded by laboratory experiments, astrophysics and cosmology. For larger masses, the…
The theoretical predictions in the standard model (SM) and measurements on the anomalous magnetic dipole moments (MDM) of muon and electron have great precision, hence the MDMs of muon and electron have close relation with the new physics…
The rare decay B_s -> mu^+ mu^- provides an important constraint on possible deviations from the Standard Model in b-s-l-l interactions. The present weighted average of its branching ratio measurements amounts to (3.34 \pm 0.27) x 10^-9,…
The status of the present precision measurements of electroweak observables is reviewed with specific reference to the radiative parameters $S,T,U$ or equivalently $\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2,\epsilon_3$. The significance of the obliqueness…
The status of the electroweak Standard Model is reviewed in the light of recent precision data and new theoretical results which have contributed to improve the predictions for precision observables, together with the remaining inherent…
Using the most recent experimental data on parameters of the standard electroweak theory, as well as renormalisation group equations with a boundary matching condition, we derive a refined and more accurate value for the mass of the…
In this paper we show that the lengths of the approximating processes in epsilon substitution method are calculable by ordinal recursions in an optimal way.

The central value and theoretical uncertainties on the cross section ratio sigma_W/sigma_Z at the Tevatron are evaluated using the NNLO calculations and the latest MSTW PDFs. The partial width, total width and branching ratios of the W…
I calculate the rate of $B+L$ violating processes in the ``symmetric" phase of the Standard Model by means of semiclassical methods, which are based on an appropriately resummed loop expansion within the dimensionally reduced theory. The…
Under certain general conditions, an explicit formula to compute the greatest delta-epsilon function of a continuous function is given. From this formula, a new way to analyze the uniform continuity of a continuous function is given.…
We present a new analysis of the ratio epsilon'/epsilon which measures the direct CP violation in K\to\pi\pi decays. We use the 1/N_c expansion within the framework of the effective chiral lagrangian for pseudoscalar mesons. From general…

I review what we know about the ``sphaleron rate'', which is the efficiency of baryon number violation at high temperatures of order 100 GeV in the Standard Model. The leading behavior at weak coupling in the symmetric phase is known…
For a Higgs boson below the $W^\pm$ threshold, the $\gamma \gamma$ collider option of a future linear $e^+ e^-$ machine is compelling. In this case one can measure the ``gold-plated'' loop induced $\Gamma (H \longrightarrow \gamma \gamma)$…
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…
Following the recent analysis done in collaboration with Jason Aebischer and Christoph Bobeth, I summarize the optimal, in our view, strategy for the present evaluation of the ratio $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the Standard Model (SM). In…
An electron-positron linear collider in the energy range between 500 and 1000 GeV is of crucial importance to precisely test the Standard Model and to explore the physics beyond it. The physics program is complementary to that of the Large…
