We present results for the hadronic running of the electromagnetic coupling and the weak mixing angle from simulations of lattice QCD with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermions. Using two different discretisations of the…
The standard model of electroweak interactions is reviewed, stressing the top quark's impact on precision tests and on determination of parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. Some opportunities for the study of CP…
We use one-loop chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) to compare lattice results for the K+ to pi+ pi0 decay amplitude with the experimental value. Three systematic effects: quenching, finite-volume effects, and the use of unphysical values of…
We show how the scheme- and scale-dependence of the short-distance operator product expansion with four-quark operators can be correctly accounted for in the framework of the $1/N_c$-expansion once the hadronization of two-quark currents…
Recently, we developed a strategy to analyse the B -> pi pi,pi K data. We found that the B -> pi pi measurements can be accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through large non-factorizable effects. On the other hand, our analysis of the…
We show that it is possible to improve the chiral behaviour and the approach to the continuum limit of correlation functions in lattice QCD with Wilson fermions by taking arithmetic averages of correlators computed in theories regularized…
The present status of higher-order results in the electroweak theory is summarised, with particular emphasis on recent two-loop results for the prediction of the W-boson mass in the Standard Model and leading three-loop corrections to the…
We perform an analysis of the behaviour of the electroweak phase transition in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the presence of light stops. We show that, in previously unexplored regions of parameter space, the order parameter…
This talks contains a short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory and the existing calculations to two-loop order in the mesonic sector. I include a discussion on which quantities the expansion can be organized in. The present best…
The recent measurement by the CDF Collaboration of the $W$ boson mass is in significant tension with the Standard Model expectation, showing a discrepancy of seven standard deviations. A larger value of $m_W$ affects the global electroweak…
In the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model we derive the two-loop QCD corrections to the scalar quark contributions to the electroweak precision observables entering via the rho parameter. A very compact expression is derived for…
A novel approach to study electroweak physics at one-loop level in generic ${\rm SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y}$ theories is introduced. It separates the 1-loop corrections into two pieces: process specific ones from vertex and box contributions,…
The mechanism of resonance enhancement of neutrino oscillations in matter and some critical remarks to this mechanism are considered. Using of this resonance mechanism is very important to examine the model of electroweak interactions since…
We report on recent advances on the computation of the matrix elements of the electroweak penguins Q_7 and Q_8 which are relevant for the Delta I=3/2 contribution to epsilon'_K in the chiral limit. The matching of scale and scheme…
We present recent progress in understanding weak matrix elements on the lattice. We use HYP staggered fermions in quenched QCD to study numerically various properties of the $K^+\to\pi^+$ amplitudes of the electroweak penguin operators…
We discuss results of the most accurate to-date test of the low-energy electroweak sector of the standard model of elementary particles. Combining previous measurements with our high-precision calculations we extracted the weak charge of…
We study the impact of the full ${\cal O}(\alpha_{s})$ QCD and ${\cal O}(\alpha_{ew})$ electroweak (EW) radiative corrections to the $e^+e^- \to t \bar t Z^0$ process in the standard model (SM), and investigate the dependence of the…
Nucleon weak matrix elements can be extracted from nucleon correlation functions with lattice QCD simulations. The signal-to-noise ratio prohibits the analysis at large source-sink separations and as a consequence, excited state…
CP violation leads to a difference between the parameters $g^+$ and $g^-$ describing the energy distributions of the charged pions produced in the $K^+ \to\pi^0 \pi^0 \pi^+$ and $K^- \to \pi^0\pi^0 \pi^-$ decays. We study the difference…
