EFFECTIVE LAGRANGIAN APPROACH TO PHYSIS BEYOND THE STANDARD MODEL

The standard model of particle physics is tremendously successful. It has a precise mathematical framework and describes almost all physics. But the standard model does not answer some of the most fundamental q uestions, such as the origin of the mass, the origin of CP violation, etc. To answer these questions new physics beyond the standard model i s needed. In this article we describe briefly the effective Lagrangian which is a model independent approach to physics beyond the standard model. We give a brief review of some of the work being done in this a pproach and summarize the work I have involved.
