1003.5733 (John D. Hobbs et al.)

Tests of the Standard Electroweak Model at the Energy Frontier    [PDF]

John D. Hobbs, Mark S. Neubauer, Scott Willenbrock
In this review, we summarize tests of standard electroweak (EW) theory at the highest available energies as a precursor to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) era. Our primary focus is on the published results (as of March 2010) from proton- antiproton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collected using the CDF and D0 detectors. This review is very timely since the LHC scientific program is nearly underway with the first high-energy ($\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV) collisions about to begin. After presenting an overview of the EW sector of the standard model, we provide a summary of current experimental tests of EW theory. These include gauge boson properties and self-couplings, tests of EW physics from top quark sector, and searches for the Higgs boson.
