Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of electroweak theory, experimental findings, and explores potential extensions beyond the Standard Model's Higgs sector.
Findings
Summary of electroweak experimental results
Status of the Standard Model Higgs boson search
Discussion of theories beyond the Standard Model
Abstract
These three lectures review the state of our understanding of electroweak interactions and the search for the agent of electroweak symmetry breaking. The themes of the lectures are (i) the electroweak theory and its experimental status, (ii) the standard-model Higgs boson, and (iii) aspects of electroweak theory beyond the standard SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y model.
