The Anatomy of Electro-Weak Symmetry Breaking. I: The Higgs boson in the Standard Model
Résumé
This review is devoted to the study of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and this first part focuses on the Higgs particle of the Standard Model. The fundamental properties of the Higgs boson are reviewed and its decay modes and production mechanisms at hadron colliders and at future lepton colliders are described in detail.
