We review the ideas of renormalizable field theories and the Standard Model at the Born (neutral currents, the Higgs mechanism and unification) and quantum level. We subsequently illustrate how high statistics experiments are producing the…
In these lectures I start by briefly reviewing the status of the electroweak theory, in the Standard Model and beyond. I then discuss the motivation and the possible avenues for new physics, on the brink of the LHC start.
What follows is an updated version of the lectures given at the CERN Academic Training (November 1993) and at the Jaca Winter Meeting (February 1994). The aim is to provide a pedagogical introduction to the Standard Model of electroweak…
