The standard electroweak theory is tested at non-trivial quantum correction level through $\alpha$, $G_F$ and the latest data of the weak-boson masses. The improved-Born approximation and the non-decoupling top-quark effects are studied…
Our picture of the electroweak interactions continues to improve, with ever more precise constraints on the masses of the Higgs boson(s) and on non-standard physics. Some recent developments include: (a) a calculation of higher-order…
Based on recent $W$-mass measurements, the electroweak theory is tested at non-trivial quantum correction level, i.e., beyond the Born approximation with $\alpha(M_Z)$ instead of $\alpha$. We can conclude that some non-Born type corrections…

The $W$ boson mass is one of the most important electroweak precision observables for testing the Standard Model or its extensions. The very recent measured $W$ boson mass at CDF shows about $7\sigma$ deviations from the SM prediction,…
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…
Electroweak precision observables allow stringent tests of the Standard Model at the quantum level and imply interesting bounds on the mass of the Higgs boson through higher-order loop effects. Very significant constraints come especially…
We consider for the first time the leading large top mass corrections, arising at higher order in electroweak interactions, to the rare decays $K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu$ and the related modes $B\to X_s\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to l^+l^-$. Higher order…

We critically reexamine the precision tests of the standard model by coupling the current world average value of $M_W$ with the recent LEP electroweak data with the aid of a modified ZFITTER program to include the dominant two-loop and…
An updated fit to the precision electroweak data and to the direct measurement of the top quark mass $m_t$ provides significant constraints on $m_t$ and on the Higgs boson mass $M_H$: $m_t/\text{GeV}=172\pm 6$ and…
We perform a comprehensive analysis of electroweak, QED and mixed QCD-electroweak corrections underlying the precise measurement of the W-boson mass M_W at hadron colliders. By applying a template fitting technique, we detail the impact on…
Recent calculations of the two-loop electroweak effects enhanced by powers of the top mass have been implemented in the main electroweak libraries and have an important effect on the indirect determination of the Higgs mass MH. I briefly…

The Born approximation, based on $\bar\alpha \equiv\alpha (m_Z)$ instead of $\alpha$, reproduces all electroweak precision measurements within their $(1\sigma)$ accuracy. The low upper limits for the genuinely electroweak corrections…
