Description

I will review, from a theorist's point of view, the main ideas behind electroweak symmetry breaking including their problems and solutions. In particular the talk will contain a description of the Higgs sector in the minimal Standard Model of electroweak interactions, supersymmetric theories (the MSSM), Little Higgs theories, gauge-Higgs unification, unHiggs theories,...
