A natural solution to the hierachy problem of the standard model is to assume new physics to appear at the TeV scale. We parametrize the effects of this new physics in terms of an effective lagrangian and examine its impacts on electroweak…
Depending on whether electroweak physics beyond the Standard Model is based on a linear or on a non-linear implementation of the electroweak symmetry breaking, a linear or a chiral Effective Lagrangian is more appropriate. In this talk, the…
