In this contribution I will highlight the new challenges for top quark physics at LHC Run II, focusing in particular on the interplay between precision studies on the top quark and searches for new physics. A new strategy to search for…
The role of the top quark in the Standard Model predictions for electroweak precision observables is reviewed and the implications of the experimental data for the indirect determination of the top mass range is discussed.
We compute the bounds from precision observables on alternative theories of electroweak symmetry breaking. We show that a cut-off as large as 3 TeV can be accomodated by the present data, without unnatural fine tuning.
We assess the impact of the very recent measurement of the top-quark mass by the CMS Collaboration on the fit of electroweak data in the Standard Model and beyond, with particular emphasis on the prediction for the mass of the W boson. We…
A program including all radiative corrections to the MSSM at the same level as the radiative corrections to the SM has been developed and used to perform global fits to all electroweak data from LEP, SLC and the Tevatron and the radiative…
The evidence for electroweak radiative corrections not contained in $\alpha(m_Z)$ is examined. At low energies there is very strong evidence in the analysis of the unitarity of the CKM matrix. At LEP and collider experiments the current…
Future lepton colliders will provide a powerful tool for making precision experiments at energies that will range typically between 500 GeV and 2 TeV. At such high energies, one loop electroweak corrections are bigger than one could naively…
We review recent theoretical progress in the computation of radiative corrections beyond one loop within the standard model of electroweak interactions, both in the gauge and Higgs sectors. In the gauge sector, we discuss universal…

We discuss the experimental and theoretical uncertainties on precision electroweak observables and their relationship to the indirect constraints on the Higgs-boson mass, $\MH$, in the Standard Model (SM). The critical experimental…
The measurement of the mass of the W boson, m_W, by direct reconstruction is described. The combination of all measurements of the four LEP experiments yields m_W = 80.412 +- 0.042 GeV. Together with several other measurements the extracted…
Electroweak precision observables are fundamentally important for testing the standard model (SM) or its extensions. The influences to observables from new physics within the electroweak sector can be expressed in terms of oblique…
We describe a method to perform any generalized purity-preserving measurement of a qubit with techniques tailored to superconducting systems. First, we consider two methods for realizing a two-outcome partial projection: using a thresholded…
Results on W-pair productions at LEP2 are reviewed and their consistency with standard electroweak expectations is summarised. Special interest is given to measurements of W polarisation, and to new studies of spin and decay-plane…
Electromigration, a significant lifetime reliability concern in highperformance integrated circuits, is projected to grow even more important in future heterogeneously integrated systems that will service higher current loads. Today, EM…
If supersymmetry is observed at the LHC its model parameters can be measured at the electroweak scale. We discuss the expected precision on the parameter determination, including a proper treatment of experimental and theoretical errors.…
