An update of the electroweak measurements at LEP and SLC is presented. These measurements are used to perform precise tests of the Standard Model. A constraint on the Standard Model Higgs mass is obtained when the direct measurements of…
Until recently precision electroweak computations were fundamentally uncertain due to lack of knowledge about the existence of the Standard Model Higgs boson and its mass. For this reason substantial calculational machinery had to be…
We study perturbative unitarity and electroweak oblique corrections in the electroweak symmetry breaking models including an arbitrary number of neutral Higgs bosons. Requiring the perturbative unitarity of the high energy scattering…
We critically revisit the issue of power-law running in models with extra dimensions. The analysis is carried out in the context of a higher-dimensional extension of QED, with the extra dimensions compactified on a torus. It is shown that a…
We study bounds on Higgs boson masses from perturbative unitarity in the Georgi-Machacek model, whose Higgs sector is composed of a scalar isospin doublet, a real and a complex isospin triplet fields. This model can be compatible with the…
The electroweak corrections at one-loop level to the process $H\rightarrow t{\bar t}$ are calculated, especially the fresh top mass value announced recently by CDF is concerned. For $M_H < 1. TeV$ where a perturbative calculation is valid,…
We consider the possibility of charged stable Kaluza-Klein leptons in orbifold models in which all the Standard Model fields propagate (UED models). At tree level the masses of the 1st mode states are nearly identical and kinematics can…
We update the experimental constraints on the parameters of the Higgs effective Lagrangian. We combine the most recent LHC Higgs data in all available search channels with electroweak precision observables from SLC, LEP-1, LEP-2, and the…

We show that the LEP lower bound on the chargino mass, in conjunction with the well motivated theoretical requirement of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, imply an upper bound on the lightest Higgs boson mass ($m_h\lsim62\GeV$) in a…
The current status of electroweak physics results from LEP is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the latest results on the properties of the Z and W bosons. The updated status of the global electroweak fit to the standard model and…
We present a global fit to electroweak precision observables (EWPOs) in dark photon (DP) models containing both kinetic and mass mixing between the DP and the neutral gauge bosons of the Standard Model (SM). Such more general mixing can be…
Because of two $3\sigma$ anomalies, the Standard Model (SM) fit of the precision electroweak data has a poor confidence level, $CL= 0.02$. Since both anomalies involve challenging systematic issues, it might appear that the SM could still…
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) searches for the SM Higgs boson provide a powerful limit on models involving Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) where the Higgs production is enhanced. We have evaluated all one-loop diagrams for Higgs production…
A major focus at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be Higgs boson studies and it would be an interesting prospect to simultaneously probe for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in the Higgs signals. In this work we show as to what…

Electroweak precision observables allow stringent tests of the Standard Model at the quantum level and imply interesting bounds on the mass of the Higgs boson through higher-order loop effects. Very significant constraints come especially…
