TASI Lectures on Electroweak Symmetry Breaking from Extra Dimensions∗

This is a pedagogical introduction into the possible uses and effects of extra dimensions in electroweak (TeV scale) physics, and in particular to models of electroweak symmetry breaking via boundary conditions (“higgsless models”). It is self contained: all the aspects of extra dimensional and electroweak physics used here are reviewed, before we apply these concepts to higgsless models. In th...

TASI Lectures on Solitons Lecture 1: Instantons

This is the first in a series of four lectures on the physics of solitons in supersymmetric gauge theories. We start here with Yang-Mills instantons, describing the moduli space of solutions, the ADHM construction, and applications to supersymmetric gauge theories in various dimensions.

Supersymmetry in Elementary Particle Physics

These lectures give a general introduction to supersymmetry, emphasizing its application to models of elementary particle physics at the 100 GeV energy scale. I discuss the following topics: the construction of supersymmetric Lagrangians with scalars, fermions, and gauge bosons, the structure and mass spectrum of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the measurement of the parameter...
