The contribution to precision electroweak measurements due to TeV physics which couples primarily to the $W^\pm$ and $Z$ bosons may be parameterized in terms of the three `oblique correction' parameters, S, T and U. We extend this…
This set of lectures provides an elementary introduction to the standard electroweak theory, followed by a detailed discussion of its experimental tests. We then consider the conceptual limitations of the Standard Model and briefly review…
I briefly review three topics of recent interest concerning power corrections, renormalons and Sudakov resummation: (a) $1/Q$ corrections to event shape observables in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation, (b) power corrections in Drell-Yan production…
The status of precision electroweak data, tests of the standard model, determination of its parameters, and constraints on new physics, are surveyed.
This summary is organized in four parts. In the first part results in the electroweak theory are discussed, including precision tests of the Standard Model. The second part deals with recent results in QCD, focusing on areas where…
We present a brief review of recent attempts to construct effective theories to describe the breaking of the electroweak symmetry in extensions of the Standard Model with new strongly interacting dynamics around the TeV scale. Particular…
We review the current status of precision electroweak measurements and the constraints they impose on new physics. We perform a model independent analysis using the STU-formalism of Ref. 1, and then discuss how the Z-pole data from LEP and…

The complete O(alpha) electroweak radiative corrections to e+e- --> WW --> 4f in the electroweak Standard Model are presented in the double-pole approximation. We give analytical and numerical results for the non-factorizable corrections…
The dominant electroweak two-loop corrections to the precision observables M_W and s_w^eff are calculated in the MSSM. They are obtained by evaluating the two-loop Yukawa contributions of O(alpha_t^2), O(alpha_t alpha_b), O(alpha_b^2) to…
We discuss several aspects of state-of-the-art calculations of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking in supergravity models. These models have a five-dimensional parameter space in contrast with the 21-dimensional one of the MSSM. We…
We work in theories with both light and heavy particles. A method to obtain an effective low energy action with respect to the light particle is presented. Thanks to Wilsonian renormalization, we obtain effective actions with finite number…
The procedures to overcome nonrenormalizability of \phi^4_n, n\ge5, quantum field theory models that were presented in a recent paper are extended to address nonrenormalizability of \phi^p_3, p=8,10,12,..., models. The principles involved…
We review the empirical evidence for the validity of the Standard Electroweak Theory in nature. The experimental data are interpreted in terms of an effective Lagrangian for Z physics, allowing for potential sources of SU(2) violation and…
Within the framework of the MSSM, we compute the complete set of electroweak one-loop supersymmetric quantum effects on the width $\Gamma_Z$ of the $Z$-boson in the on-shell renormalization scheme. Numerical analyses of the corrections to…

We show that the S parameter is not finite in theories of electroweak symmetry breaking in a slice of anti--de Sitter five-dimensional space, with the light fermions localized in the ultraviolet. We compute the one-loop contributions to S…
