We present precision results for distributions in global event shapes that can be measured at hadron colliders within experimental limitations. These predictions are obtained by combining exact next-to-leading order (NLO) with the all-order…

The current status of electroweak physics results from LEP is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the latest results on the properties of the Z and W bosons. The updated status of the global electroweak fit to the standard model and…
Next-to-Leading-Order (NLO) effects play a crucial role in tests of the Standard Model (SM), and require careful theoretical evaluation. Electroweak physics, which has just entered the precision age, is an excellent place to search for new…
