We know there is new physics at the electroweak scale, but we don't know what it is. Right now, the top quark is our only window on to this physics. In almost all models of electroweak symmetry breaking, top either couples strongly to new…
The Standard Model of particle physics provides a rigorous framework within which processes mediated by electroweak interactions can be calculated with great accuracy. By comparing with high-precision experimental measurements of the same…

The most important hint of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) from the 1995 precision electroweak data is that the most precisely measured quantities, the total, leptonic and hadronic decay widths of the $Z$ and the effective weak…
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…
The standard model of electroweak interactions is reviewed, stressing the top quark's impact on precision tests and on determination of parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. Some opportunities for the study of CP…
We have examined the evidence for the electroweak radiative corrections in the LEP precision data sets of 1993 and 1994 along with the intriguing possibility that the QED corrections only may be sufficient to fit the data within the…

The four LEP experiments and the SLD detector have measured the Z partial widths for Z decays into b and c quarks and the corresponding forward-backward asymmetries at centre-of-mass energies close to the Z boson mass. The results yield a…
We discuss the experimental and theoretical uncertainties on precision electroweak observables and their relationship to the indirect constraints on the Higgs-boson mass, $\MH$, in the Standard Model (SM). The critical experimental…
Collider measurements on electroweak physics are summarised. Although the precision on some observables is very high, no deviation from the Standard Model of electroweak interactions is observed. The data allow to set stringent limits on…
We discuss the consequences of recent experimental results from CDF, SLC, LEP and elsewhere for the Standard Model and for new physics. A global fit to all indirect precision data yields $m_t = 175 \pm 11^{+17}_{-19}$~GeV,…
