| 5 | 1. Explain the differences between global and local, exact and spontaneously broken symmetries. |
| 6 | 1. Why is a Higgs boson required to give mass to the W and Z bosons? Why is it required for fermions in the SM? |
| 7 | 1. In the SM, the Higgs field is a doublet. Couldn't it be a triplet? Explain. |
| 8 | 1. Why are there no flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) at tree-level in the SM? |
| 9 | 1. What is the golden argument that there is new physics at a scale of 1 !TeV? |
| 10 | 1. True or false: the hierachy problem makes the SM mathematically inconsistent. Explain. |
| 11 | 1. What are the direct, indirect and theoretical constraints on the Higgs mass we know? |
