The global fit of the Standard Model to electroweak precision data, routinely performed by the LEP electroweak working groups and others, has been revisited in view of (i) the development of the new generic fitting package, Gfitter, (ii)…
In 1997 each LEP experiment collected approximately $55 {pb}^{-1}$ of data at a center-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. These data yield a sample of candidate $e^+e^- \to W^+W^-$ events from which the mass of the W boson, M_W, is measured. The…
Precise measurements of the mass and width of the W boson are sensitive to radiative corrections and can be used to place limits on new physics beyond the Standard Model and validate the consistency of the model. In particular, the W boson…
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…
This paper includes two main parts. In the first part, we present generalized gauge models based on SU(3)_C x SU(4)_L x U(1)_X (3-4-1) gauge group with arbitrary electric charge of leptons. The mixing matrix of neutral gauge bosons is…
Two topics on the standard electroweak theory are discussed based on its remarkable success in precision analyses. One is a test of structure of the radiative corrections to the weak-boson masses as a further precision analysis. The other…
Recently the CDF Collaboration has announced a new precise measurement of the $W$-boson mass $M_W$ that deviates from the Standard Model (SM) prediction by $7\sigma$. The discrepancy in $M_W$ is about $\Delta_W\simeq70$ MeV and probably…
If the standard electroweak gauge model is extended to include two or more Higgs doublets, there may be a neutral Higgs boson $h$ which is light (with a mass of say 10 GeV) but the $hZZ$ coupling is suppressed so that it has so far escaped…
We argue that the familiar gauge hierarchy between the fundamental Planck scale M_{Pl} and the electroweak scale M_{W}, can be naturally explained in higher dimensional theories with relatively large radii (R_c > 1/M_{Pl}) extra dimensions.…
On the light of the recent LHC boson discovery, we present a phenomenological evaluation of the ratio $\rho_t=m_Z m_t/m_H^2$, from the LHC combined $m_H$ value, we get ($ (1\sigma)$) $$\rho_t^{(exp)}= 0.9956\pm 0.0081.$$ This value is close…
In this presentation Gfitter results from the global Standard Model (SM) fit to electroweak precision data are discussed. We have used the latest measurements of m_top and M_W and the most recent results for direct Higgs searches at LEP and…
We present a new global fit to precision electroweak data, including new low- and high-energy data and analyzing the radiative corrections arising from the minimal symmetry breaking sectors of the Standard Model (SM) and its supersymmetric…
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…
In this talk, I shall address two key issues related to electroweak symmetry breaking. First, how fine-tuned different models are that trigger this phenomenon? Second, even if a light Higgs boson exists, does it have to be necessarily…
The electroweak radiative correction, which turned out to be marginal within the standard electroweak model having the minimal Higgs sector in view of the present experimental information, fits well the experiment when the Higgs sector is…
In the standard model of particle physics, the masses of the W and Z bosons, the carriers of the weak interaction, are uniquely related. A precise determination of their masses is important because quantum loops of heavy, undiscovered…
Present data, both from direct Higgs search and from analysis of electroweak data, are starting to become rather restrictive on the possible values for the mass of the standard model Higgs. We discuss a new physics scenario based on a model…

We present a detailed evaluation of the bosonic two-loop electroweak corrections to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment. We study the Higgs mass dependence and find agreement with a previous evaluation in the large Higgs mass limit. We…
