I give a basic introduction to precision electroweak analysis, beginning with calculation at tree-level which most simply illustrates the procedure. I then work out the formalism for one-loop corrections to the vector boson self energies…

We calculate the full two-loop electroweak matching corrections to the operator governing the decay B_q --> l^+ l^- in the Standard Model. Their inclusion removes an electroweak scheme and scale uncertainty of about 7% of the branching…
Electroweak one-loop radiative corrections to the process e^+ e^- -> t tbar are revisited. Two groups from Karlsruhe and Bielefeld/Zeuthen performed independent calculations of both (virtual and soft) QED contributions and weak virtual…

Looking into the inside of radiative corrections is an interesting subject as a deeper study of the standard electroweak theory after its remarkable success in the precision analyses. I will discuss here a test of ``structure" of the EW…
