INTRODUCTION
- Building the Model:
- A Bit of Context
- Problem Session: Muon Decay, Neutral Currents
- Strong Interactions, I: QCD Lagrangian [Why SU(3), Symmetries]
- Problem Session: Parton Model
- Strong Interactions, II: Renormalization Group Equations
- Problem Session: Asymptotic Freedom
- Electroweak Interactions, I: Gauge sector [Why SU(2)xU(1)]
- Problem Session: e+e- --> Z --> mu+mu-
- Electroweak Interactions, II: Higgs sector [Symmetry Breaking]
- Problem Session: Custodial Symmetry, the 5th Force
- Electroweak Interactions, III: Yukawa sector [Matter Content and CKM matrix]
- Problem Session: Flavor Changing Currents
- Testing the Model:
- Tree level predictions [m_W and Weinberg angle]
- Low-Energy Tests [APV and EDMs]
- Deep Inelastic Scattering [Scaling Violations]
- EW Precision Measurements [One-Loop Radiative Corrections]
- Effective hamiltonians [Delta S and Delta B = 1 or 2]
- Flavor Physics [Unitarity Triangle, CP violation]
- Stability of EW vacuum [Naturalness and Hierarchy problem]
- Almost Beyond the SM [Neutrino Masses and Oscillation]
