Introduction to the Standard Model of the Electro-Weak Interactions
by Jean Iliopoulos
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 44
Description:
These are the notes of a set of four lectures which I gave at the 2012 CERN Summer School of Particle Physics. They cover the basic ideas of gauge symmetries and the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking which are used in the construction of the Standard Model of the Electro-Weak Interactions.

An Introduction to Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
by Aron J. Beekman, et al. - arXiv.org
Starting from a careful definition of symmetry in physics, we introduce symmetry breaking and its consequences. Emphasis is placed on the physics of singular limits, showing the reality of symmetry breaking even in small-sized systems.

Lattice Perturbation Theory
by Stefano Capitani - arXiv.org
In this review we explain the main methods and techniques of lattice perturbation theory, focusing on the cases of Wilson and Ginsparg-Wilson fermions. We will illustrate, among other, the peculiarities of perturbative techniques on the lattice ...

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and Physics Beyond the Standard Model
by Subir Sarkar - arXiv
We first present a pedagogical account of relativistic cosmology and primordial nucleosynthesis, discussing both theoretical and observational aspects, and then examine such constraints in detail, in particular those pertaining to new particles.
