Pions were predicted by H. Yukawa as force carriers of the inter-nucleon forces, and were detected in 1947. Today they are known to be bound states of quarks and anti-quarks of the two lightest flavours. They satisfy Bose statistics, and are the lightest particles of the strong interaction spectrum. Determination of the parameters of the Standard Model, including the masses of the lightest quarks, has only recently reached high precision on the lattice. Pions are also known to be pseudo-Goldstone bosons of spontaneously broken approximate axial-vector symmetries, and a probe of their properties and interactions at high precision tests our knowledge of the strong interactions. While also being a probe of the solution of the strong interactions on the computer, which is known as lattice gauge theory. Despite their long history, there are significant experimental and theoretical challenges in determining their properties at high precision. Examples include the lifetime of the neutral pion, and the status of their masses and decay widths in effective field theories. Pion-pion scattering has been studied for several decades using general methods of field theory such as dispersion relations based on analyticity, unitarity and crossing. Knowledge from these theoretical methods are used to confront high precision experimental data, and to analyze them to extract information on their scattering and phase shift parameters. This knowledge is crucial for estimating the Standard Model contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, which is being probed at Fermilab in ongoing experiments. Other sensitive tests include the rare decay of the eta meson into three pions, which represents an isospin violating decay. The present article briefly reviews these important developments.

133 - Tom W.B. Kibble 2014
This is a historical account from my personal perspective of the development over the last few decades of the standard model of particle physics. The model is based on gauge theories, of which the first was quantum electrodynamics, describing the int eractions of electrons with light. This was later incorporated into the electroweak theory, describing electromagnetic and weak nuclear interactions. The standard model also includes quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong nuclear interactions. The final capstone of the model was the Higgs particle discovered in 2012 at CERN. But the model is very far from being the last word; there are still many gaps in our understanding.
We compute the leading-order evolution of parton distribution functions for all the Standard Model fermions and bosons up to energy scales far above the electroweak scale, where electroweak symmetry is restored. Our results include the 52 PDFs of the unpolarized proton, evolving according to the SU(3), SU(2), U(1), mixed SU(2) x U(1) and Yukawa interactions. We illustrate the numerical effects on parton distributions at large energies, and show that this can lead to important corrections to parton luminosities at a future 100 TeV collider.
After the LHC Run 1, the standard model (SM) of particle physics has been completed. Yet, despite its successes, the SM has shortcomings vis-`{a}-vis cosmological and other observations. At the same time, while the LHC restarts for Run 2 at 13 TeV, t here is presently a lack of direct evidence for new physics phenomena at the accelerator energy frontier. From this state of affairs arises the need for a consistent theoretical framework in which deviations from the SM predictions can be calculated and compared to precision measurements. Such a framework should be able to comprehensively make use of all measurements in all sectors of particle physics, including LHC Higgs measurements, past electroweak precision data, electric dipole moment, $g-2$, penguins and flavor physics, neutrino scattering, deep inelastic scattering, low-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ scattering, mass measurements, and any search for physics beyond the SM. By simultaneously describing all existing measurements, this framework then becomes an intermediate step, pointing us toward the next SM, and hopefully revealing the underlying symmetries. We review the role that the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) could play in this context, as a consistent, complete, and calculable generalization of the SM in the absence of light new physics. We discuss the relationship of the SMEFT with the existing kappa-framework for Higgs boson couplings characterization and the use of pseudo-observables, that insulate experimental results from refinements due to ever-improving calculations. The LHC context, as well as that of previous and future accelerators and experiments, is also addressed.
We study interactions of unparticles ${cal {U}}$ of dimension $d_{cal {U}}$ due to Georgi with Standard Model (SM) fields through effective operators. The unparticles describe the low energy physics of a non-trivial scale invariant sector. Since unpa rticles come from beyond the SM physics, it is plausible that they transform as a singlet under the SM gauge group. This helps tremendously in limiting possible interactions. We analyze interactions of scalar ${cal {U}}$, vector ${cal {U}}$$^mu$ and spinor ${cal {U}}$$^s$ unparticles with SM fields and derivatives up to dimension four. Using these operators, we discuss different features of producing unparticles at $e^+ e^-$ collider and other phenomenologies. It is possible to distinguish different unparticles produced at $e^+e^-$ collider by looking at various distributions of production cross sections.
