Our picture of the electroweak interactions continues to improve, with ever more precise constraints on the masses of the Higgs boson(s) and on non-standard physics. Some recent developments include: (a) a calculation of higher-order…
The present experimental and theoretical knowledge of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking is reviewed. Data still favor a light Higgs boson, of a kind that can be comfortably accommodated in the Standard Model or in its Minimal…
Recent results from the H1 and ZEUS experiments are reported on electroweak physics and on searches for new physics. All results are in good agreement with the Standard Model.
The period 1989-2000 provided a huge yield of precise electroweak data from the LEP and SLC experiments. Many analyses of these data are now complete, but others, particularly of the full LEP-2 data samples, continue. The main electroweak…
This article is devoted to the status of the electroweak theory on the eve of experimentation at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. A compact summary of the logic and structure of the electroweak theory precedes an examination of what…
This paper is an updated version of the invited plenary talk given at the XXII Physics in Collision Conference at Stanford, (June 2002). The measurements performed at LEP and SLC have substantially improved the precision of the tests of the…
A high luminosity upgrade of HERA will allow the measurement of standard model parameters and the neutral current couplings of quarks. These results will have to be consistent with other precision measurements or indicate traces of new…

The measurements of electroweak sector of the Standard Model are presented, including most recent results from LEP, Tevatron and HERA colliders. The robustness of the Standard Model is illustrated with the precision measurements, the…
The present status of precision electroweak data is reviewed. These data include measurements of e+e- -> f+fbar, taken at the Z resonance at LEP, which are used to determine the mass and width of the Z boson. In addition, measurements have…
We briefly review the limits on new interactions implied by electroweak precision data. Special attention is payed to the bounds on the Higgs boson mass. We also comment on the required cancellation among the new contributions to precisely…

This set of lectures provides an elementary introduction to the standard electroweak theory, followed by a detailed discussion of its experimental tests. We then consider the conceptual limitations of the Standard Model and briefly review…
