We present results for the bubble wall velocity and bubble wall thickness during a cosmological first-order phase transition in a condensed form. Our results are for minimal extensions of the Standard Model but in principle are applicable to a much broader class of settings. Our first assumption about the model is that only the electroweak Higgs is obtaining a vacuum expectation value during the phase transition. The second is that most of the friction is produced by electroweak gauge bosons and top quarks. Under these assumptions the bubble wall velocity and thickness can be deduced as a function of two equilibrium properties of the plasma: the strength of the phase transition and the pressure difference along the bubble wall.

We first discuss the basic features of electroweak 1-loop corrections in the Standard Model. We also give a short and elementary review on Higgs boson searches, grand unification, supersymmetry and extra dimensions.
Six major frameworks have emerged attempting to describe particle physics beyond the Standard Model. Despite their different theoretical genera, these frameworks have a number of common phenomenological features and problems. While it will be possible (and desirable) to conduct model-independent searches for new physics at the LHC, it is equally important to develop robust methods to discriminate between BSM look-alikes.
In these lectures we briefly cover some of the main lines of research in particle physics beyond the Standard Model.
Estimates of the CP violating observable $varepsilon/varepsilon$ have gained some attention in the past few years. Depending on the long-distance treatment used, they exhibit up to $2.9sigma$ deviation from the experimentally measured value. Such a deviation motivates the investigation of New Physics (NP) effects in the process $Ktopipi$. In my talk I will review the Standard Model (SM) prediction for $varepsilon/varepsilon$, with a special focus on the Dual QCD approach. On the NP side, I will discuss a recent computation of the hadronic matrix elements of NP operators. Furthermore a master formula for BSM effects in $varepsilon/varepsilon$ is presented. Finally, a treatment of $varepsilon/varepsilon$ using the SM effective theory (SMEFT) will be discussed together with possible correlations to other observables.
We review our expectations in the last year before the LHC commissioning.
