Precision electroweak data allow one to test the standard model, constrain its parameters, and search for the effects of some kinds of new physics. The results of the most recent data from LEP, SLC, and elsewhere are described, as are their…
A new framework to study electroweak physics at one-loop level in general ${\rm SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y}$ theories is introduced. It separates the 1-loop corrections into two pieces: process specific ones from vertex and box contributions and…
Electroweak Sudakov logarithms at high energy, of the form alpha/(sin^2theta_W)^n log^m s/M_{Z,W}^2, are summed using effective theory methods. The corrections are computed to processes involving two external particles in the standard…

We investigate the structure of the experimentally significant electroweak bosonic loop corrections to the leptonic weak mixing angle, the leptonic Z-boson decay width, and the W-boson mass. It is shown that the bosonic corrections that…
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 cross-section for ZZ->ZZ with arbitrarily polarized Z bosons is calculated within the electroweak Standard Model including the complete O(alpha) corrections. We show the numerical importance of the radiative corrections and elaborate…
We argue that for a Higgs boson mass M_H ~125 GeV, as suggested by recent Higgs searches at the LHC, the inclusion of electroweak radiative corrections in the relationship between the pole and MS-bar masses of the top quark reduces the…
We present the full ${{\cal O}}(\alpha)$ electroweak radiative corrections to associated Higgs top pair production in $e^+e^-$ collisions. We combine these results with a new calculation of the full one-loop QCD corrections. The computation…

The recent precision electroweak data on $\Gamma^l, \bar s^2_W$ and $M_W/M_Z$ are compared with the tree-level and the dominant-fermion-loop as well as the full one-loop standard-model predictions. While the tree-level predictions are ruled…
We review the available constraints on the low energy supersymmetry. The bulk of the electroweak data is well screened from supersymmetric loop effects, due to the structure of the theory, even with superpartners generically light, ${\cal…
Radiative corrections of strong and electroweak interactions are presented at next-to-leading order for Higgs-boson production in the weak-boson-fusion channel at the LHC. The calculation includes all weak-boson fusion and quark-antiquark…
