These lectures describe why one believes there is physics beyond the Standard Model and review the expectations of three alternative explanations for the Fermi scale. After examining constraints and hints for beyond the Standard Model…
Recent progress in both the theoretical and experimental explorations of electroweak symmetry breaking is surveyed.
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…
Tests of the Standard Model with Electroweak Physics have been performed over many decades. In these proceedings, we present several analyses from the Tevatron involving single $W$ or $Z$ bosons.
There have been several important recent developments in precision electroweak tests. These include: the new LEP energy scan during the 1993 run; the first high-precision results on the left-right asymmetry from the SLD Collaboration at…
The status of the electroweak precision measurements as of winter 2004 and the global test of the Standard Model are discussed. Important input data are the precision variables measured on the Z resonance at LEP and SLC and the measurements…
The current status of the quantities entering into the global electroweak fits is reviewed, highlighting changes since Summer 2003. These data include the precision electroweak properties of the Z and W bosons, the top-quark mass and the…
We report the results of the global electroweak fit, with emphasis on the most recent results which served as input of the fit. The output of the fit sets also limits on the Standard Model Higgs mass.
The Higgs potential of the standard model with an additional real Higgs singlet is studied in order to examine if it may allow the strongly first order electroweak phase transition. It is found that there are parameter values for which this…
We develop a method for the construction of the effective potential at high temperatures based on the effective field theory approach and renormalization group. It allows one to sum up the leading logarithms in all orders of perturbation…
We consider the Strongly-Coupled Standard Model (Abbott-Farhi model) including an isotriplet of W' vector bosons. First we calculate the corrections to the low-energy theory, which can be effectively summarized in terms of the parameters S,…
This note presents constraints on Standard Model parameters using published and preliminary precision electroweak results measured at the electron-positron colliders LEP and SLC. The results are compared with precise electroweak…
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…
We demonstrate the power of constraining theories of new physics by insisting that they lead to electroweak baryogenesis, while agreeing with current data from the Large Hadron Collider. The general approach is illustrated with a singlet…
I discuss the properties of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, in the case in which there is a dynamical breakdown of the electroweak symmetry induced by the formation of condensates of the third generation of…
In the first lecture, the Standard Model is reviewed, with the aim of seeing how its successes constrain possible extensions, the significance of the apparently low Higgs mass indicated by precision electroweak experiments is discussed, and…

We review the origin of the standard electroweak model and discuss in great detail the on-shell renormalization scheme of the standard model as a field theory. One-loop radiative corrections are calculated by the dimensional regularization…
