High-energy data has been accumulating over the last ten years, and it should not be ignored when making decisions about the future experimental program. In particular, we argue that the electroweak data collected at LEP, SLC and Tevatron…
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…
