We summarize an extensive Tevatron (1984-2011) electroweak physics program that involves a variety of W and Z boson precision measurements. The relevance of these studies using single and associated gauge boson production to our…
We study the accuracy to be obtained in measuring trilinear $Z^0W^+W^-$ and $\gamma W^+W^-$ couplings in the reaction $e^+e^- \to W^+W^-$ at "New Linear Collider" energies of $500GeV$ to $1000GeV$. We derive simple scaling laws for the…
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…
We present a complete analysis of the one loop electroweak corrections to $e^-e^+\to\gamma\gamma, ~Z\gamma, ~ZZ$ in the Standard (SM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Analytic expressions are written for the…
The cross-section for $\gamma\gamma\to t \bar t$ with arbitrary polarized photons is calculated within the electroweak Standard Model including the complete virtual and soft-photonic $O(\alpha)$ corrections. We present a detailed numerical…
We point out a set of operator identities that relate the operators corresponding to the oblique corrections to operators that modify fermion couplings to the gauge bosons as well as operators that modify triple gauge boson couplings. Such…
The Lee-Wick (LW) formulation of higher-derivative theories can be extended from one in which the extra degrees of freedom are represented as a single heavy, negative-norm partner for each known particle (N=2), to one in which a second,…

We compute the oblique parameters, including the three new parameters $ V $, $ W $ and $ X $ introduced recently by the Montreal group, for the case of one scalar multiplet of arbitrary weak isospin $ J $ and weak hypercharge $ Y $. We show…
In the context of the littlest Higgs$(LH)$ model, we study the process $ e^{+}e^{-}\to t\bar{t}$. We find that the new gauge bosons $Z_{H}$ and $B_{H}$ can produce significant correction effects on this process, which can be further…
In this talk, using deconstruction, we analyze the form of the corrections to the electroweak interactions in a large class of ``Higgsless'' models of electroweak symmetry breaking, allowing for arbitrary 5-D geometry, position-dependent…
The oblique parameters $S$ and $T$ are studied in electroweak theory with two massless Higgs doublets. The effect of quadratic dependence on the charged Higgs mass in the parameter $T$ could be cancelled. %when mass differences between the…
We briefly discuss five topics in Precision Electroweak Physics: i) the recently proposed Effective Scheme of Renormalization, ii) evidence for electroweak bosonic corrections derived from the radiative correction Delta_r_eff, iii) an…
We discuss electroweak precision constraints on dimension-6 operators in the effective theory beyond the standard model. We identify the combinations of these operators that are constrained by the pole observables (the W and Z masses and…
The activities of the Electroweak Physics Working Group are summarized. Three main issues are addressed: 1) prospects for measuring the $W$ mass at the Tevatron using the inclusive electron energy spectrum, 2) constraining the strange quark…
We elaborate on a recently suggested effective Lagrangian for charged-current and neutral-current electroweak interactions which in comparison with the standard electroweak theory contains three free parameters $\Delta x, \Delta y$,…
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 discuss how new physics not encompassed within the STU oblique correction framework can be constrained from precision electroweak measurements via vertex corrections to Z-pole observables.
Contrary to what is sometimes stated, the current electroweak precision data easily allow for massive composite resonance states at the natural EW scale, i.e., well over the TeV. The oblique parameters S and T are analyzed by means of an…
