The electroweak measurements made at LEP using 1989-1993 data are presented in preliminary form. The agreement with the Standard Model is satisfactory, and allows a combined fit to all available data for the masses of the top quark and…
We summarize the recent results on electroweak physics and physics beyond the Standard Model that have been presented at the XIV International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering 2006.
We review the prospects for studies in electroweak physics at the LHC.
These are the lecture notes to be published in the Proceedings of XXXI Rencontres de Moriond conference ``Correlated Fermions and Transport in Mesoscopic Systems'', (20-27 January 1996, Les Arcs, France). The notes are based on two recent…
This is the proceedings article for the concluding lecture of the 1999 High Energy Physics Conference of the European Physical Society. In this article, I review a number of topics that were highlighted at the meeting and have more general…
In these lectures I start by briefly reviewing the status of the electroweak theory, in the Standard Model and beyond. I then discuss the motivation and the possible avenues for new physics, on the brink of the LHC start.
The basic ideas and some recent developments of the chiral perturbation theory approach to hadron dynamics at low-energies are reviewed. (Invited talk at the HADRON'93 Conference Como, Italy June 1993.)
A summary of the QM19 conference is given by highlighting a few selected results. These are discussed as examples to illustrate the exciting future of heavy-ion collisions and the need for further instrumentation. (The arXiv version is…
The status in electroweak precision physics is reviewed. I present a brief summary of the latest data, global fit results, a few implications for new physics, and an outlook.
