We investigate the prospects of probing weak-scale higgsinos through electroweak precision measurements at a future $e^+ e^-$ collider. In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, higgsinos mix with winos and binos after electroweak…
The status of published and preliminary precision electroweak measurements as of winter 2002/03 is presented. The new results on the mass of the W boson as measured at LEP-2 and on atomic parity violation in Caesium are included. The…
The electroweak (EW) sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) can account for a variety of experimental data. The lighest supersymmetric particle (LSP), which we take as the lightest neutralino, $\tilde \chi_1^0$, can…
The measurements performed at LEP and SLC have substantially improved the precision of the test of the Minimal Standard Model. The precision is such that there is sensitivity to pure weak radiative corrections. This allows to indirectly…
We review the current best fit values of Higgs boson masses in the Standard Model (SM) and its minimal supersymmetric extension (MSSM) obtained from existing experimental data. We also review the parameters space of the constrained MSSM…
Depending on the Higgs-boson and top-quark masses, $M_H$ and $M_t$, the effective potential of the Standard Model can develop a non-standard minimum for values of the field much larger than the weak scale. In those cases the standard…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Model (MSSM) and the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Model [(M+1)SSM], an upper bound on the lightest higgs mass can be calculated. On the other hand, vacuum stability implies a lower limit on the mass of the…
A complete analysis of the electroweak precision observables is performed within a recently proposed minimal composite Higgs model, realized as a 5-dimensional warped compactification. In particular, we compute Z->bb and the one-loop…
The electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking in the simplest supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the standard model (SM), i.e. minimal and next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard models (MSSM and NMSSM), is considered. The spectrum of the Higgs…
In the global fit of the Standard Model using Gfitter, electroweak precision observables as well as constraints from direct Higgs searches have been compared with state-of-the-art electroweak predictions. We use the most recent results for…
Depending on the Higgs-boson and top-quark masses, $M_H$ and $M_t$, the effective potential of the {\bf Standard Model} can develop a non-standard minimum for values of the field much larger than the weak scale. In those cases the standard…
After reviewing briefly the upper bounds on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in the most general unconstrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, we discuss various arguments which reduce the parameter space of the…
We investigate the phenomenological implications of a light scalar bottom quark, with a mass of about the bottom quark mass, within the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The study of such a scenario is of theoretical interest, since,…
In this talk, I shall address two key issues related to electroweak symmetry breaking. First, how fine-tuned different models are that trigger this phenomenon? Second, even if a light Higgs boson exists, does it have to be necessarily…
An introduction to the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking is given. We discuss Higgs boson production in $e^+e^-$ and hadronic collisions and survey search techniques at present and future accelerators. Indirect limits on the Higgs…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model heavy superparticles introduce large logarithms in the calculation of the lightest $\mathcal{CP}$-even Higgs boson mass. These logarithmic contributions can be resummed using effective field…
We study precision electroweak constraints on the close cousin of the Littlest Higgs, the SU(6)/Sp(6) model. We identify a near-oblique limit in which the heavy W' and B' decouple from the light fermions, and then calculate oblique…
We analyze the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model that we have after the discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC, the hMSSM (habemus MSSM?), i.e. a model in which the lighter $h$ boson has a mass of approximately 125 GeV…
Two topics on the standard electroweak theory are discussed based on its remarkable success in precision analyses. One is a test of structure of the radiative corrections to the weak-boson masses as a further precision analysis. The other…
Severe constraints on parameters of the minimal supersymmetric standard model follow from a dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism dominated by top and stop loops. In particular, the lightest Higgs boson mass is expected to be…
