The measurement of Standard Model processes tests the validity of the model at a given scale and is simultaneously sensitive to new physics through loop effects or interference with the Standard Model amplitudes. A variety of studies has…
A global survey of weak mixing angle measurements at low and high energies is presented. Then I will discuss theoretical uncertainties in precision observables with special emphasis on their correlations. The important role of vacuum…
We investigate the question of electroweak naturalness within the deflected mirage mediation (DMM) framework for supersymmetry breaking in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). The class of DMM models considered are…
Recent LEP results on electroweak precision measurements are reviewed. Line-shape and asymmetries analysis on the Z peak is described. Then, the consistency of the Standard Model predictions with experimental data and consequent limits on…
A concise introduction is given to the standard model, including the structure of the QCD and electroweak Lagrangians, spontaneous symmetry breaking, experimental tests, and problems.
I review recent theoretical work on electroweak symmetry breaking.
A pedagogical introduction to the equivalence theorem for longitudinal vector bosons in electroweak theories is presented and the problem of high-energy behaviour of scattering amplitudes in the Standard Model is briefly reviewed. To make…
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…
An introduction to electroweak symmetry breaking and Higgs physics is presented for the Standard Model and its supersymmetric extensions. A brief overview will also be given on strong interactions of the electroweak gauge bosons in…
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…
We study, in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the electroweak symmetry breaking conditions obtained from the one-loop effective potential. Novel model-independent lower and upper bounds on $\tan \beta$, involving the other free…
We present the results of a complete analysis of the one loop electroweak corrections to $e^-e^+\to\gamma\gamma, ~Z\gamma, ~ZZ$ in the Standard (SM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). A special emphasis is put on the high…
In this talk, I shall first discuss the standard model Higgs mechanism and then highlight some of its deficiencies making a case for the need to go beyond the standard model (BSM). The BSM tour will be guided by symmetry arguments. I shall…
Gauge invariance is a powerful tool to determine the dynamical forces among the fundamental constituents of matter. The particle content, structure and symmetries of the Standard Model Lagrangian are discussed. Special emphasis is given to…
We study Radiative Electroweak Symmetry Breaking in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We employ the 2-loop Renormalization Group equations for running masses and couplings taking into account sparticle threshold effects. The…
The precision electroweak program, including weak neutral current (WNC), $Z$-pole, and high energy collider experiments, has been the primary prediction and test of electroweak unification. It has established that the standard model (SM) is…
Aspects of theoretical electroweak physics are summarized, including the status of electroweak radiative corrections, the hadronic contribution to the running of alpha, global fits to precision data and their implication for testing the…
Using dimensional reduction we construct an effective 3D theory of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at finite temperature. The final effective theory is obtained after three successive stages of integration out of massive…
These notes contain some of the material I presented at TASI 96 on the comparison of the standard model with precision electroweak data. After a physical accounting of the dominant electroweak radiative corrections, including the effects of…
The status of precision electroweak data, tests of the standard model, determination of its parameters, and constraints on new physics, are surveyed.
