This is an overview of the electroweak physics achieved at LEP. After a brief review of the standard model and the calculation of the radiative corrections both in the MS and on-shell schemes, we introduce the Z decay parameters around the…
We present an algorithm, called Predict, for updating beliefs in causal networks quantified with order-of-magnitude probabilities. The algorithm takes advantage of both the structure and the quantification of the network and presents a…
As a part of the celebration of 50 years of the Standard Model of particle physics, I present a brief history of the precision theory of electroweak interactions. I emphasize in particular the theoretical preparations for the LEP program…
Collider measurements on electroweak physics are summarised. Although the precision on some observables is very high, no deviation from the Standard Model of electroweak interactions is observed. The data allow to set stringent limits on…
