Electroweak Interactions: Loops for Cyclists
Abstract
Description
We review the ideas of renormalizable field theories and the Standard Model at the Born (neutral currents, the Higgs mechanism and unification) and quantum level. We subsequently illustrate how high statistics experiments are producing the first evidence for the validity of the Standard Model as a spontaneously broken gauge theory.
