Abstract

These lectures on electroweak interactions start with a summary of the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam theory [1] and then cover more advanced subjects of present interest in phenomenology: the Higgs sector and the open problem of the experimental investigation on the origin of the Fermi scale of mass G -1/2F ; the experimental tests of the theory; and finally, an outlook on LEP physics.
