Adding a fourth generation to the Standard Model and assuming it to be valid up to some cutoff \Lambda, we show that electroweak symmetry is broken by radiative corrections due to the fourth generation. The effects of the fourth generation…
To match the precision of present and future measurements of W-boson production at hadron colliders, electroweak radiative corrections must be included in the theory predictions. In this paper we consider their effect on the transverse…
Electroweak (EW) corrections at the LHC can be enhanced at high energies due to soft/collinear radiation of W and Z bosons, being dominated by Sudakov-like corrections in the form of $\alpha_W^l\log^n(Q^2/M_W^2)$ $(n \le 2l, \alpha_W =…

An adequate description of the neutral-current Drell-Yan process at the Tevatron and the LHC, in particular, requires the inclusion of electroweak radiative corrections. We extend earlier work in this direction in various ways. First, we…

We reemphasize the importance of discriminating fermion-loop and bosonic electroweak corrections in the analysis of electroweak precision data. Most recent data are indeed precise enough to require corrections beyond (trivial) fermion…
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…
We perform a global analysis of electroweak precision measurements to find constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, we discuss oblique parameters, which are useful to constrain additional matter fields, as well as…
The effective renormalizable theory describing electromagnetic and strong interactions of quarks of five light flavors ($n_f = 5$ QCD$\times$QED) is considered as a low-energy limit of the full Standard Model. Two-loop relation between the…
We compute the real and imaginary parts of the one-loop electroweak contributions to the left and right tensorial anomalous couplings of the $tbW$ vertex in the Standard Model (SM). For both tensorial couplings we find that the real part of…
We study the possibility of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking where loop corrections to the mass parameter of the Higgs boson trigger the symmetry breaking in various extensions of the Standard Model (SM). Although the mechanism fails…
The electroweak O(alpha) contribution to the resonant single W production in a general 4-fermion process is discussed with particular emphasis on a gauge invariant decomposition into a QED-like and weak part. The cross section in the…
In high-energy collisions far above the electroweak scale, the effects of electroweak symmetry breaking are expected to become parametrically small $\delta \sim M_W/E$. This defines the extent to which the electroweak gauge symmetry is…
We present an update of the global Standard Model (SM) fit to electroweak precision data under the assumption that the new particle discovered at the LHC is the SM Higgs boson. In this scenario all parameters entering the calculations of…
