The global fit of the Standard Model predictions to electroweak precision data, which has been routinely performed in the past decades by several groups, led to the prediction of the top quark and the Higgs boson masses before their…
We consider a recent proposal by Dimopoulos and Kaplan to embed the electroweak SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y into a larger group SU(3)_W X SU(2) X U(1) at a scale above a TeV. This idea is motivated by the prediction for the weak mixing angle sin^2…

We present the first purely theoretical calculation of the weak mixing angle in the MS scheme at low energies by combining results from lattice QCD with perturbation theory. We discuss its correlation with the hadronic contribution to the…
We relate all $C$-- and $P$--invariant anomalous triple vector--boson couplings to the oblique electroweak parameters. LEP constraints on the latter then yield the strongest and most general simultaneous bounds to date on the former. Even…
The leading hadronic effects in electroweak theory derive from vacuum polarization which are non-perturbative hadronic contributions to the running of the gauge couplings, the electromagnetic alpha_{em}(s) and the SU(2)_L coupling…
The precise determination of the $W$ boson mass, $m_W$, is a cornerstone of electroweak precision tests and a critical input to global fits of the Standard Model (SM). While most existing measurements of $m_W$ are in agreement with SM…

The progress in the evaluation of the muon decay lifetime is reviewed. The electroweak bosonic corrections are given together with the respective shift of the W boson mass. After inclusion of the recently corrected fermionic contributions,…
Because of a luminosity of up to five orders of magnitude larger than at LEP, electroweak precision measurements at the FCC-ee -- the Future Circular Collider with electron-positron beams -- would provide improvements by orders of magnitude…
Future high energy linear electron positron colliders with centre-of-mass enegies between 90 and 1000 GeV offer a unique opportunity to study precisely the Standard Model and phenomena from new physics. Most important, the mechanism of…
We present a global fit to electroweak precision observables (EWPOs) in dark photon (DP) models containing both kinetic and mass mixing between the DP and the neutral gauge bosons of the Standard Model (SM). Such more general mixing can be…
We present electroweak physics results from the DZero experiment using data from collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV, concentrating on single W and Z production cross sections and the production of electroweak gauge boson pairs. The inclusive…
The measured values of two electroweak gauge couplings appear to obey an approximate 5% SU(3) relation. Unless this is an accident caused by fortuitous Planck-scale physics, it suggests the presence of an SU(3) symmetry near the electroweak…
In this paper we express the effect of new physics on gauge boson self energy corrections through non-renormalizable dimension six operators. Using the precision electroweak data we then determine a lower bound on the scale ${\l}$…

We reemphasize the importance of discriminating fermion-loop and bosonic electroweak corrections in the analysis of electroweak precision data. Most recent data are indeed precise enough to require corrections beyond (trivial) fermion…
We present a global $\chi^2$ analysis of electroweak data, including fermion masses and mixing angles, in SO(10) SUSY GUTs. Just as precision electroweak data is used to test the Standard Model, the well determined Standard Model parameters…
