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…
The study of gauge bosons is interesting in two respects. The properties of gauge bosons are modified by higher order effects that are sensitive to mass scales not directly accessible to experiment. On the other hand interactions amongst…

The agreement of electroweak measurements with theory places limits on the masses of the top quark and the $W$ boson. It is shown how these limits arise and what constraints various measurements (particularly a top quark mass determination)…

The Standard Model (SM) with a light Higgs boson provides a very good description of the precision electroweak observable data coming from the LEP, SLD and Tevatron experiments. Most of the observables, with the notable exception of the…
Various types of electroweak-interacting particles, which have non-trivial charges under the $\mathrm{SU}(2)_L \times \mathrm{U}(1)_Y$ gauge symmetry, appear in various extensions of the Standard Model. These particles are good targets of…
Precision electroweak measurements have been claimed to eliminate almost all models of technicolor. We show that the assumptions made to calculate the oblique parameters $S$,$T$,$U$ apply to QCD--like technicolor models which were ruled out…

We study the sensitivities of future precision Higgs measurements and electroweak observables in probing physics beyond the Standard Model. Using effective field theory--appropriate since precision measurements are indirect probes of new…
In this talk I will give a brief introduction to Little Higgs models in general, including an overview of all models in existence thus far. I then review some of the generic constraints on these models from electroweak precision…
I will argue why and how it is that precise measurements of the self-couplings of the weak vector bosons are a vista on the mechanism of symmetry breaking. Guided by what we have learnt from the present precision data, it is suggested which…
The breaking of the electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated ``weak scale,'' may be due to a new strong interaction. Theoretical developments over the past decade have led to viable models and mechanisms that are consistent with…
