The FCC-ee aims to improve on electroweak precision measurements, with goals of 100 keV on the Z mass and width, and a fraction of MeV on the W mass. Compared to LEP, this implies a much improved knowledge of the centre-of-mass energy when…

New physics interactions beyond the Standard Model can make themselves known as small corrections to Standard Model reactions. There is a diverse array of proposals for new physics, and so any parametrization of those effects must be as…
