Electroweak interactions and electroweak symmetry breaking
Basics: Cheng and Li, Srednicki
Longitudinal W scattering:

references therein.
EW chiral lagrangian:
Appelquist-Wu.
Higgs model: see Srednicki or many others. (For one review
with more discussion of partial wave unitarity, and phenomenology, see
Reina (2004); for more
recent phenomenology see
Altarelli
(2006).)
Neutrino masses and mixing
Composite models
Precise electroweak corrections

Supersymmetry
Basics: there are many books on
supersymmetry and supergravity. Wess and Bagger is still a
standard. More recent developments, applying powerful holomorphy
techniques, appear in Terning,
Modern
Supersymmetry: Dynamics and Duality.
MSSM; breaking: again, there are many references, one is Dine,
Supersymmetry and string theory. A
good reference for breaking is also
Luty (2005).
GUTs
Books include Ross and Dine (above);
briefer reviews are Witten, "Grand unification with and without
supersymmetry," and
Raby
(2006).
TeV-scale gravity
For one brief introduction to TeV-scale
gravity and black hole production, see
Giddings (2001).
