We analyze LEP and SLC data from the 1995 Winter Conferences for signals of new physics. We compare the data with the Standard Model (SM) as well as a number of test hypotheses concerning the nature of new physics: (i) nonstandard Zbb…
The simplest interpretation of the global success of the Standard Model is that new physics decouples well above the electroweak scale. Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model offers the possibility of light chargino and the…
A program including all radiative corrections to the MSSM at the same level as the radiative corrections to the SM has been developed and used to perform global fits to all electroweak data from LEP, SLC and the Tevatron and the radiative…
The Standard Model does not provide a very good fit to the most recent precision electroweak data from LEP, due primarily to the observed branching ratios for $Z$ decay to $b\bar b$ and $c\bar c$. The possibility that an extension of the…

We present the results of a first global fit to the electroweak observables in the MSSM. The best fit selects either very low or very large values of ~$\tan\beta$ ~and, correspondingly, chargino (higgsino--like) and stop or the ~$CP-$odd…
The Minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) with light stops, charginos or pseudoscalar Higgs bosons has been suggested as an explanation of the too high value of the branching ratio of the Z0 boson into b quarks (Rb…
The value of $\alpha_s (M_Z)$ emerging from the so called global fits based mainly on the data at the $Z$ peak (and assuming the standard model) is three standard deviations higher than the one stemming from the low-energy phenomenology.…
There are two aspects to the 1995 summer update of the combined preliminary electroweak data from LEP and SLC. On the one hand, agreement between experiments and the Standard Model (SM) has improved for the line-shape and the asymmetry…
Recent calculations of supersymmetric corrections to the conflicting ratios $R_b$ and $R_c$ have shown that an alleged discrepancy between the SM predictions of these observables and the corresponding experimental values can be cured in the…
We implement global fits to LEP data with the \non interactions. Consistent $R_b$ with experimental value and consistent $\as(M_Z^2)$ with that from low energy experiments are obtained. We also find that the $\xx$ is better than the…
The predictions of the \sm and the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) for the electroweak precision parameters are discussed in the light of the recent precision data. The results from global fits yield lower $\chi^2$ values in…
If the reported excess (over the standard model prediction) for Z->bb from LEP persists, and is explained by supersymmetric particles in loops, then we show that (1) a superpartner (chargino and/or stop) will be detected at LEP2, and…
The strong coupling alpha_s is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model. In comparison to parameters like alpha_em and M_Z it is relatively poorly known. However the precision of alpha_s measurements has improved dramatically in recent…
We discuss the impact of the recent precision measurements at LEP on the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We show that the values of $\tan\beta$ necessary to induce large positive corrections to $R_b$ are the same as the ones…
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,…
We present the results of a realistic global fit of the Lagrangian parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model to simulated data from ILC and LHC with realistic estimates of the observable uncertainties. Higher order radiative…
We analyze LEP and SLC data from the 1995 Summer Conferences as well as from low energy neutral current experiments for signals of new physics. The reasons for doing this are twofold, first to explain the deviations from the standard model…
We present the results of a realistic global fit of the Lagrangian parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model assuming universality for the first and second generation and real parameters. No assumptions on the SUSY breaking…
A set of equations representing the $W/Z$ mass ratio and various observables of $Z$ decays in terms of $\bar\alpha \equiv\alpha (m_Z)$, $G_{\mu}$, $m_Z$, $m_t$, $m_H$, $\bar\alpha_{s} \equiv\alpha_{s} (m_Z)$, $m_b$ and $m_\tau$ (all other…
