The little Higgs idea is an alternative to supersymmetry as a solution to the gauge hierarchy problem. In this note, I review various little Higgs models and their phenomenology with emphases on the precision electroweak constraints in…
I present an overview of the standard model, concentrating on its global continuous symmetries, both exact and approximate. There are four lectures, dedicated to spacetime symmetry, flavor symmetry, custodial symmetry, and scale symmetry.…
In these lectures we give a discussion of the structure of the electroweak standard model and its quantum corrections for tests of the electroweak theory. The predictions for the vector boson masses, neutrino scattering cross sections and…

We explore phenomenological implications of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with a strong supersymmetry breaking trilinear term. Supersymmetry breaking can trigger electroweak symmetry breaking via a symmetry-breaking…
In original twin Higgs model, vacuum misalignment between electroweak and new physics scales is realized by adding explicit $\mathbb{Z}_2$ breaking term. Introducing additional twin Higgs could accommodate spontaneous $\mathbb{Z}_2$…

Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model have been in vogue for over half a century. They have many interesting theoretical properties like calculability, absence of quadratic divergences, and phenomenologically impactful features…
The utility of precision electroweak measurements for predicting the Standard Model Higgs mass via quantum loop effects is discussed. Current constraints from $m_W$ and $\sinsthw\mzms$ imply a relatively light Higgs $\lsim 154$ GeV which is…
We study the possibility of relaxing the cosmological bound on the Higgs mass coming from the requirement of non-erasure of the baryon asymmetry by sphalerons. After reviewing the Standard Model case we obtain this bound in two extensions…
These lectures contain an introduction to the theory and practice of weak-scale supersymmetry. They begin with a discussion of the hierarchy problem and the motivation for weak-scale supersymmetry. They continue by developing the coset…
In these three lectures I review the need to go beyond the Standard Glashow- Weinberg-Salam Model and discuss some of the approaches that are explored in this direction.
