چکیده
The central challenge in particle physics is to explore the 1-TeV scale and elucidate the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking. A key element in this quest is the search for the Higgs boson, the agent of electroweak symmetry breaking in the standard electroweak theory. Uncovering the secrets of the Higgs sector is the focus of much present and future experimental research. The LEP 2 experiments are searching now for a light Higgs boson and for low-scale supersymmetry. At the Tevatron, CDF and DØ will begin next year a high-luminosity run with considerable sensitivity to new physics, and offer promise for decisive light-Higgs searches in the future. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN will bring extensive explorations of TeV-scale physics beginning in about 2005. Linear colliders now on the drawing boards would offer complementary possibilities for the study of electroweak symmetry breaking. These three lectures offer a short course in the current state of electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs sector. The subject is vast, so

Simultaneous nonlinear realizations of supersymmetry and softly broken scale and chiral symmetries are investigated. To guarantee Nambu-Goldstone realizations of the symmetries, the Goldstino decay constant is forced to vary as the explicit soft scale and chiral symmetry breaking parameters. Consequently, it must vanish in the chiral limit and the simultaneous nonlinear realizations of the supe...

The B̄ → Kγ branching fraction is predicted using heavy quark spin symmetry at large recoil to relate the tensor and (axial-)vector form factors, using heavy quark flavor symmetry to relate the B decay form factors to the measured D → Kl̄ν form factors, and extrapolating the semileptonic B decay form factors to large recoil assuming nearest pole dominance. This prediction agrees with data surpris...

The modern precision accelerator data has essentially ruled out the most obvious model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, technicolour. The idea is though well motivated and it is important to construct models compatible with the precision data of this ilk to motivate experimental searches. We describe the top-see-saw and flavour universal symmetry breaking models that break electrowea...
