Physics of Electroweak Gauge Bosons
نویسنده
چکیده
The study of gauge bosons is interesting in two respects. The properties of gauge bosons are modified by higher order effects that are sensitive to mass scales not directly accessible to experiment. On the other hand interactions amongst gauge bosons are sensitive to the symmetry structure of the theory where especially the interactions involving longitudinally polarised bosons teach us about the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. This article explains how far a linear collider can increase our knowledge about the properties of and the interactions amongst gauge bosons. To appear in Linear Collider Physics in the New Millennium. Edited by K. Fujii, D. Miller and A. Soni, World Scientific

Precision Bounds on Flavor Gauge Bosons
Gauged flavor symmetries at low energies have been proposed in models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and fermion mass generation. The massive flavor gauge bosons give rise to corrections to precisely measured electroweak quantities. We perform a fit to the Z-pole electroweak data and place indirect limits on such new physics. In particular we study several models from the literature...

Electroweak gauge bosons self–energies: complete QCD corrections. ABSTRACT We present the QCD corrections to the longitudinal and transverse components of the electroweak gauge bosons self–energies for arbitrary momentum transfer and for different internal quark masses. Compact formulae for both the real and imaginary parts are given in the general case as well as in some physically interesting...
متن کاملElectroweak Precision Data and New Gauge Bosons
I review constraints on the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson from high energy electroweak (EW) precision data. The same data set also strongly limits various mixing effects of hypothetical extra neutral gauge bosons (Z′) with the ordinary Z. I also discuss low energy precision measurements which are sensitive to other aspects of Z′ physics, such as the direct exchange amplitude and the flavor or...
