We study the low energy phenomenology of the little Higgs model. We first discuss the linearized effective theory of the "littlest Higgs model" and study the low energy constraints on the model parameters. We identify sources of the…
An important class of observables in the heavy-ion collision programme concerns probes which are not sensitive to the prevailing strong interactions of QCD. The emission of photons, weak gauge bosons, and leptons fall into this category.…

I will argue why and how it is that precise measurements of the self-couplings of the weak vector bosons are a vista on the mechanism of symmetry breaking. Guided by what we have learnt from the present precision data, it is suggested which…
