Precision Tests Of The Standard Model At High Energy Colliders - Proceedings Of The Xviii International Meeting On Fundamental Physics And Xxi G.i.f.t. International Seminar On Theoretical Physics


Book Description

This proceedings focuses on the theoretical and experimental status of the Standard Model of the strong and electroweak interactions. They are discussed in the light of recent experimental results from high energy e+e- and hadron colliders.




The Standard Model Higgs Boson


Book Description

The Standard Model of electroweak and strong interactions contains a scalar field which permeates all of space and matter, and whose properties provide the explanation of the origin of the masses. Commonly referred to as the Higgs field, it assumes in the physical vacuum a non-vanishing classical expectation value to which the masses of not only the vector bosons, but all the other known fundamental particles (quarks and leptons) are proportional. This volume presents a concise summary of the phenomenological properties of the Higgs boson.










Precision Tests Of The Standard Electroweak Model


Book Description

High precision measurements of weak neutral current and charged current processes and of the properties of the Z and W bosons have established the standard electroweak model as correct down to a distance scale of 10-16 cm, and are a sensitive probe of possible underlying physics. In this book, all aspects of the program are considered in detail, including the structure of the standard model, radiative corrections, high precision experiments, and their implications. The major classes of experiments are surveyed, covering the experiments themselves, the data analysis, results, and prospects.This volume is a detailed reference for theoretical and experimental researchers, as well as an introductory text for advanced students.




Lectures on the ElectroWeak Interactions


Book Description

Elementary particle physics is the quadrant of nature whose laws can be written in a few lines with absolute precision and the greatest empirical adequacy. The lectures presented in this book introduce students and interested readers to the entire subject in a compact way. It details the current theory of ElectroWeak interactions after one year of operation of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, focusing on open questions that the experiments might allow to answer.







Particle Phenomenology In The 90's - Proceedings Of The Workshop In High Energy Physics Phenomenology Ii


Book Description

Second in a series of international workshops in high energy physics, WHEPP II dealt with front- line areas of particle phenomenology with an eye to new physics with planned accelerators. Among the topics discussed were: (a) collider physics and structure functions, (b) B physics, hadronic matrix elements and lattice results, (c) new particle search and model building, (d) LEP results and radiative corrections to electro-weak processes and (e) baryon number violation in electroweak processes.







The Standard Electro-Weak Theory


Book Description

This book is the natural follow-on of the discussion about Quantum Electro Dynamics (QED), begun with my former manual ''Alkali Atomic spectra'', mainly concerning with the description of the atom structure. The Theory of Fields, and then the whole Standard Model, concern particles in relativistic motion. Then an atom is ionized and nuclei and particles are brought to collide at relativistic energies. In order to investigate the dynamics an appropriate model is needed. Particles are represented as fields and those fields are themselves quantized as for second quantization. The definition of the Electro-Weak theory and the concept of symmetry breaking are just the prelude to all the physics behind Supersymmetry and Gravitation, and eventually to the Grand Unification Theories (GUT).
