We discuss recent results from global electroweak fits and from the Tevatron and review the motivation for physics at the TeV energy scale.
We report on searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson in $p\bar(p)$ collisions at a center of mass energy sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV with the CDF and D0 detectors using an integrated luminosity of more than 3.0/fb. For a SM Higgs with mass…
We update our previous work on an analysis of the electroweak data by including new and partly preliminary data available up to the 1996 summer conferences. The new results on the Z partial decay widths into b and c hadrons now offer a…
The top quark and electroweak bosons (W and Z) represent the most massive fundamental particles yet discovered, and as such refer directly to the Standard Model's greatest remaining mystery: the mechanism by which all particles gained mass.…
We present measurements of the W boson mass at the Tevatron based on $W \to \mu \nu$ events collected by CDF and $W \to e \nu$ events observed by D0 in Run Ib (1994--95). The W boson mass measured in the preliminary CDF analysis is 80.43…
We review the present status of Higgs physics within the standard model and its extensions. First, we briefly summarize the current experimental exclusion limits from the direct searches with LEP1 and the Tevatron, and assess the discovery…

In these lectures we give a discussion of the structure of the electroweak standard model and its quantum corrections for tests of the electroweak theory. The predictions for the vector boson masses, neutrino scattering cross sections and…
We consider a class of minimal extensions of the Standard Model with an extra massive neutral gauge boson Z'. They include both family-universal models, where the extra U(1) is associated with (B-L), and non-universal models where the Z' is…
We report on measurements of hadronic and leptonic cross sections and leptonic forward-backward asymmetries performed with the L3 detector in the years 1993-95. A total luminosity of 103 pb^-1 was collected at centre-of-mass energies…
Results from analyses of events with W and Z bosons are presented for the D0 Tevatron run 1B data samples. From the leptonic decays of the W and Z, the W and Z production cross sections and the W width are determined. Events in which the W…
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…
We present the most recent W and Z production, asymmetries, and V+jets results from the Tevatron collider at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV, analyzing data collected by CDF and DZero detectors between 2002-2011. The results include the measurements of…
