Abstract

In this chapter we are going to review the mass problem in the standard model (SM) and how it is solved by means of an spontaneous symmetry breaking. This mechanism also admits a phenomenological description in terms of an electroweak effective Lagrangian, that is built based on just a few firmly established experimental facts. We will see that its applicability is mainly restricted to an strongly interacting symmetry breaking sector (SBS). In that context, it is particularly useful the so called equivalence theorem (ET). We will review in detail its derivation and applicability. Finally, we also present several applications to the Large Electron Positron collider (LEP) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
