• Standard model (SU(3)cxSU(2)LxU(1)Y ) passed all experimental tests!
It is based on three main principles:
1. Quantum field theory (renormalizability)2. Gauge symmetry (fundamental interactions)3. Spontaneous symmetry breaking (mass generation)
Precision measurements at the 0.1% level allowed to test the model at the quantum level (radiative corrections).
Top quark mass was predicted before its actual detection!
• However, symmetry breaking mechanism has not yet been directly tested.

2006-07-24: Summer 2006 ======================= Contact: [email protected] Summer 2006: Changes in experimental inputs w.r.t. winter 2006 * New Tevatron Mtop * New LEP-2 MW and GW combination (ADLO final, but combination preliminary) Hence new world averages for MW and GW
Blue-band studies: ================== For ZFITTER 6.41 and later (currently 6.42), and flag AMT4=6 fixed, two flags govern the theory uncertainties in the complete two-loop calculations of MW (DMWW=+-1: +-4 MeV) and fermionic two-loop calculations of sin2teff (DSWW=+-1: +-4.9D-5). The theory uncertainty for the Higgs-mass prediction is dominated by DSWW.
The blue band will be the area enclosed by the two ZFITTER DSWW=+-1 \Delta\chi^2 curves. The one-sided 95%CL (90% two-sided) upper limit on MH is given by ZFITTER's DSWW=-1 curve: MH <= 166 GeV (one-sided 95%CL incl. TU)MH <= 166 GeV (one-sided 95%CL incl. TU) (increasing to 199 GeV when including the LEP-2 direct search limit). (increasing to 199 GeV when including the LEP-2 direct search limit).

• Is this the end of particle theory?Program: find the Higgs, study its properties (mass, couplings, widths) and go home??
• NO! Standard Model is incomplete: • fermion masses (Yukawas, see-saw)• fermion mixings (CKM and the like)• dark matter (new physics)• dark energy (new physics)• grand unification (SUSY-GUT?)• gravity!• ...
Furthermore, the SM has conceptualproblems related to the scalar sector:
• Triviality
• Stability
• Hierarchy and Naturalness
• Unitarity

Higgs summary
• Higgs potential is responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking
• Higgs couplings and vacuum expectation value generates masses for fermions and EW gauge bosons
• Higgs restores partial wave unitarity in WW scattering
• SM is an effective theory: either the SM Higgs boson or new physics will be found at the LHC
Quantum Chromo Dynamics
• QCD is an unbroken gauge theory based on the SU(3)c gauge group.
• Quarks come in 3 colors and transform as the fundamental representation of SU(3)c .
• There are 8 gluons that transform as the adjoint representation of SU(3)c .
QCD Lagrangian
are the 8 Gell-Mann matrices
In principle, neglecting light quark masses, QCD has only one free parameter:
Given s one should be able to compute everything in QCD (like hadron spectrum andform factors)!
However, at low energies the coupling is largeand perturbative methods can’t be used...Lattice QCD

Gluons have self-interactions!
QCD has the property of asymptotic freedom: its coupling becomes weak at large energies.
We define an effective energy dependent coupling constant s (q) :

QCD summary
• QCD at high energies can be treated perturbatively; many calculations (NLO,NNLO,...) have been done.
• Low energy QCD is much harder: recent progress with dynamical fermions. Hadron spectra (pentaquarks??).
• QCD is essential for the calculation of high energy cross sections: Particle Distribution Functions (PDF).
• QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential is being actively studied: new states of matter (QGP,CGC) Careful with pentaquarks!
