We review the precision measurement of the mass of the W-boson at LEP. We discuss the techniques used by the four LEP experiments to determine the mass of the W-boson as well as the major sources of systematic uncertainty. The measurement…
In $\rm e^+ \rm e^-$ collisions, the integrated luminosity is generally measured from the rate of low-angle Bhabha interactions $\rm e^+ e^- \to e^+ e^- $. In the published LEP results, the inferred theoretical uncertainty of $\pm 0.061\%$…

An attempt is made to summarize the discussion at the Workshop, except for the panel discussion on the ability of the LHC detectors to accommodate forward reactions. The Workshop focused on two main topics. The first topic was forward…
We propose a set of precision muon-related observables that serve as a tool to constrain new physics models. Using LEP's precision measurements on the $Z$-boson pole, we derive bounds on the new physics quantum contributions to the decay $Z…
