Current particle phenomenology is characterized by the spectacular agreement of the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) with all results from collider experiments and by the absence of significant signals of…
The precision electroweak program, including weak neutral current (WNC), $Z$-pole, and high energy collider experiments, has been the primary prediction and test of electroweak unification. It has established that the standard model (SM) is…
This paper examines the Higgs particle self-coupling and its implications for electroweak symmetry breaking in the Standard Model. We review the current experimental constraints on the Higgs trilinear coupling and discuss the challenges in…
The standard model of particle physics is analyzed for the case of a Higgs potential not favoring spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking to gain insight into the physics of the standard model. Electroweak breaking still takes place, and…
Electroweak baryogenesis is addressed within the context of the standard model of particle physics. Although the minimal standard model has the means of fulfilling the three Sakharov's conditions, it falls short to explaining the making of…
General formulas as well as leading asymptotics for corrections to Z- and W-boson parameters are derived. Experimental data fits in Standard Model and its extensions are discussed and results are presented.
The Standard Model of the electroweak and strong interactions of particle physics is a quantum field theory. Elementary particles are not indivisible `pieces' of matter but energy bundles of fields, whose properties and interactions are a…
These four lectures constitute a gentle introduction to what may lie beyond the standard model of quarks and leptons interacting through $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ gauge bosons, prepared for an audience of graduate students in…
Aspects of theoretical electroweak physics are summarized, including the status of electroweak radiative corrections, the hadronic contribution to the running of alpha, global fits to precision data and their implication for testing the…
A pedagogical introduction to the equivalence theorem for longitudinal vector bosons in electroweak theories is presented and the problem of high-energy behaviour of scattering amplitudes in the Standard Model is briefly reviewed. To make…
Overall, the Standard Model describes electroweak precision data rather well. There are however a few areas of tension (charged current universality, NuTeV, (g-2)_\mu, b quark asymmetries), which I review emphasizing recent theoretical and…
The predictions for electroweak observables following from Higgs-Free Model for Fundamental Interactions are derived. It is shown that these predictions are close to the Standard Model predictions and they are in a surprising agreement with…
Most recent tests of the Standard Model of the electroweak interaction are reported using data from the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, the SLD experiment at SLC, the Tevatron ppbar experiments CDF and D0, and the NuTeV…
Based on the recent CDF report on the top-quark, we have carried out an analysis on the Higgs mass within the minimal standard electroweak theory using the latest data on the $W$-mass. Although this theory is in quite a happy situation now,…
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…
The status of precision electroweak data, tests of the standard model, determination of its parameters, and constraints on new physics, are surveyed.
The present text is an updated version of an earlier author's book on the electroweak theory (published originally in 2002, ISBN 80-246-0639-9). It reflects the ultimate completion of the standard model by the long-awaited discovery of the…
In this talk, I discuss theoretical advances in understanding the properties of the Higgs boson and the implications for models of electroweak symmetry breaking. I begin by reviewing some of the recent progress in Standard Model…
The implications of recent precision $Z$-pole, $W$ mass, and weak neutral current data for testing the standard electroweak model, constraining the $t$ quark and Higgs masses, \alsz, and grand unification are discussed. A fit to all data…
In this set of four lectures I will discuss some aspects of the Standard Model (SM) as a quantum field theory and related phenomenological observations which have played a crucial role in establishing the $SU(2)_{L} \times U(1)_{Y}$ gauge…
