The energy upgrade at LEP allows new regimes to be explored in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The searches for new physics using the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3, and OPAL data are described, and the results are presented.
The period 1989-2000 provided a huge yield of precise electroweak data from the LEP and SLC experiments. Many analyses of these data are now complete, but others, particularly of the full LEP-2 data samples, continue. The main electroweak…
In five years of operation (1996-2000) the four LEP2 experiments collected roughly 3 fb-1 of data from e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 161 and 207 GeV, yielding a total of about 40000 W-pair events. The analysis of the…
Recent results from the KLOE experiment at the DAPHNE e+e- collider are presented. KLOE has collected about 500 pb^-1 of data in the years from 2000 to 2002. Preliminary results are obtained using wide samples of the full statistics and…
This proceeding covers tools and technologies at our disposal for scientific data preservation and shows that this extends the scientific reach of our experiments. It is cost-efficient to warehouse data from completed experiments on the…
Data from particle physics experiments are unique and are often the result of a very large investment of resources. Given the potential scientific impact of these data, which goes far beyond the immediate priorities of the experimental…
Since no Standard Model Higgs boson was discovered at LEP the searches were extended to beyond the Standard Model Higgs scenarios. A selection of final results from searches carried out by the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL…
The accumulation of a large amount of new experimental data at an impressive rate at present and future collider experiments has led to important questions concerning data storage and organization, their public access and usability, as well…
Extra spatial dimensions are proposed by recent theories that postulate the fundamental gravitational scale to be of the same order as the electroweak scale. Different final states and search strategies are used by LEP collaborations to…
