These lectures provide a concise introduction to the so-called "Beyond the Standard Model"' physics, with particular emphasis on the problem of the microscopic origin of the Higgs mass term and of the Electro-Weak symmetry breaking scale in…
The known fundamental symmetries and interactions are well described by the Standard Model. Features of this powerful theory, which are described but not deeper explained, are addressed in a variety of speculative models. Experimental tests…
Five elementary lectures delivered at TASI 2011 on the Standard Model, its extensions to neutrino masses, flavor symmetries, and Grand-Unification.
Studies in nuclear and atomic physics have played an important role in developing our understanding of the Standard Model of electroweak interactions. We review the basic ingredients of the Standard Model, and discuss some key nuclear and…
These lecture notes are from a first course on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The level of the notes is introductory and pedagogical. Standard Model, basic supersymmetry algebra and its representations are considered as…
In this talk I review the motivations for physics beyond the Standard Model at the TeV scale and the prospects for their detection in the second Run of LHC. Then I focus in the supersymmetric case, paying special attention to the…
The development of supergravity unified models and their implications for current and future experiments are discussed.
Signals for new, non-supersymmetric physics at hadron colliders are reviewed. We focus on extended gauge sectors and new matter particles. {Presented at the {\it 10th Topical Workshop on Proton-Antiproton Collider Physics}, Batavia, IL,…
Supersymmetry, a new symmetry that relates bosons and fermions in particle physics, still escapes observation. Search for supersymmetry is one of the main aims of the Large Hadron Collider. The other possible manifestation of supersymmetry…
I present a brief overview of the advantages of using a consistent effective Lagrangian approach in parameterizing virtual new physics effects. I then apply the formalism to certain top-quark processes.
The status of the new standard model is briefly surveyed, with emphasis on experimental tests, unique features, theoretical problems, necessary extensions, and possible TeV signatures of Planck scale physics.
This is a writeup of lectures on "statistics" that have evolved from the initial version for the 2009 Hadron Collider Physics Summer School at CERN to versions for other venues and, most recently, for the African School of Fundamental…
I discuss the construction of realistic superstring standard--like models in the four dimensional free fermionic formulation. I discuss proton lifetime constraints on superstring models. I discuss the massless spectrum of the superstring…
Electroweak precision tests of the Standard Model of the fundamental interactions are reviewed ranging from the lowest to the highest energy experiments. Results from global fits are presented with particular emphasis on the extraction of…
In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the observed particles come in fermion-boson pairs necessary for the realization of supersymmetry (SUSY). In spite of the expected abundance of super-partners for all the known particles,…

In this thesis manuscript we explore different facets of random tensor models. These models have been introduced to mimic the incredible successes of random matrix models in physics, mathematics and combinatorics. After giving a very short…
Beginning from a discussion of the known most fundamental dynamical structures of the Standard Model of physics, extended into the realms of mathematics and theory by the concept of "supersymmetry" or "SUSY," an introduction to efforts to…
The Standard Model of elementary particle physics is one of the most successful models of contemporary theoretical physics being in full agreement with experiments. However, its mathematical structure deserves further investigations both…
