Review of recent developments in attempts to go beyond the Standard Model is given. We concentrate on three main unresolved problems: mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, expected new physics at the TeV scale (mainly SUSY) and the…
The Standard Model of elementary particles is a theory unifying three of the four basic forces of the Nature: electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions. In this paper we consider the Standard Model in the presence of a classical…
In this conference report a summary is given on the recent theoretical work that has contributed to improve the theoretical predictions for testing the standard model in present and future experiments. Precision calculations for the $Z$…
I discuss the physics prospects at future high--energy $e^+ e^-$ linear colliders. After summarizing some aspects of these future machines, I will review a few topics in the Standard Model which can be studied at these colliders: top quark,…

We promote the microscopic theory of standard model (MSM, hep-ph/0007077) into supersymmetric framework in order to solve its technical aspects of vacuum zero point energy and hierarchy problems, and attempt, further, to develop its…
The prospects of measuring masses, spin and CP properties within Supersymmetry and other beyond the Standard Model extensions at the LHC are reviewed. Emphasis is put on models with missing transverse energy due to undetected particles, as…
This talk is divided in two parts. In the first one we discuss the signals of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model through the production of \tilde{e} \tilde{q}. The second part is devoted to contact terms. The bounds on the mass scale…
We discuss the gauge natural formulation of supersymmetric theories and supergravity, with the aim to show that the standard and the supersymmetric frameworks admit in fact a unifying mathematical language.
The recent discovery of the Standard Model boson (SMS) and direct searches place new constraints and a new perspective on New Physics models. I mostly review supersymmetric model building, with special emphasizes on predictions of flavor…
We start with a brief presentation of the Standard Model and the weak neutral current, in view of a discussion of parity-violation in electron-hadron electroweak interactions. We then discuss some limitations of this model, motivating the…
Supersymmetry is one of the most important and indispensable ingredients of modern theoretical physics. However, the absence, at least at the time of publishing this review, of experimental verification of supersymmetry in elementary…
The Standard Model of particle physics has been remarkably successful in describing present experimental results. However, it is assumed to be only a low-energy effective theory which will break down at higher energy scales, theoretically…
This is the written version of two lectures given at the Newton Institute Euroconference on Duality and Supersymmetric Theories, Cambridge, England, 7-18 Apr 1997. It deals with the nature of supergravity vacua and black holes and black…
Talk given at Frontiers in Particle Physics Conference, Cargese. In this paper, I provide some motivation for supersymmetric grand unified theories, briefly explain an extension of the standard model based on them and present a calculation…
We explore to what extent the various assumptions behind the standard model as well as the observed quantization of electric charges of quarks and leptons can be understood using the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomalies. The effect of including a…
Three aspects of supersymmetric theories are discussed: electroweak symmetry breaking, the issues of flavor, and gauge unification. The heavy top quark plays an important, sometimes dominant, role in each case. Additional symmetries lead to…
I define the Standard Supersymmetric Model (SSM) as the minimal supersymmetric extension ofthe Standard Model with gauge coupling unification and universal soft supersymmetry breaking at the unification scale. This well-defined model has a…

We review the construction of $N=1$ supergravity models where the Higgs and super-Higgs effects are simultaneously realized, with naturally vanishing classical vacuum energy and goldstino components along gauge-non-singlet directions: this…
