I discuss two aspects of the electroweak interactions: the status of the precision measurement of the electroweak parameters and their impact on the Higgs search at future colliders.
Precision measurements of electroweak observables provide stringent tests of the Standard Model structure and an accurate determination of its parameters. An overview of the present experimental status is presented.
We analyse descriptions of electroweak symmetry breaking in terms of ultralocal antisymmetric tensor fields and gauge-singlet geometric variables, respectively; in particular, the Weinberg--Salam model and, ultimately, dynamical electroweak…
We study the process $W^+ W^- \to t \bar t$ in several models of strong interaction electroweak symmetry breaking. We calculate the signals that can be expected by observing the reaction $e^+ e^- \to \nu \bar\nu t \bar t$ at an $e^+ e^-$…
We review possible tests of the left-right electroweak model at future linear colliders, concentrating on signatures of the central predictions of the model, i.e. right-handed currents, massive neutrinos and triplet Higgs bosons. We analyse…
The modern precision accelerator data has essentially ruled out the most obvious model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, technicolour. The idea is though well motivated and it is important to construct models compatible with the…
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…
Some possible tests of physics beyond the Standard Model in the next generation collider experiments are considered. The main emphasis is put on the processes which may be studied in the non-conventional $e^-e^-$, $e^-\gamma$ and…
This talk summarizes the status of the standard model predictions for electroweak precision observables including g-2 for muons, and discusses the status of the standard model and the MSSM in view of the new data.
Up to now, almost all discussion of supersymmetry at future colliders has been concerned with particle searches. However, if candidates for supersymmetric particles are found, there is much more that we will want to know about them.…
We consider the possibility of non-sequential generation(s) of Standard Model -like matter as a consequence of cancellation of global and gauge anomalies due to a new strongly interacting sector responsible for the electroweak symmetry…

The study of the mechanism behind electroweak symmetry breaking is one of the main goals of the Large Hadron Collider and of its general-purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS. This paper reviews some of the ongoing studies by these…
We argue that a Standard Model decoupling limit is generically the necessary ingredient which makes scenarios of electro-weak symmetry breaking viable. This applies especially also to models of dynamical electro-weak symmetry breaking.…

We consider experimental signatures of the standard model's minimal supersymmetric extension with a continuous $U(1)_R$ symmetry (MR model). We focus on the ability of existing and planned electron-positron colliders to probe this model and…
Taking into account the negative results of direct searches for beyond the Standard Model fields and the consequent mass gap between Standard Model and possible unknown states, the use of electroweak effective theories is justified. Whereas…
