Over the course of the past years the experimental measurements performed by the two large collaborations, CDF and D{\O}, at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider have fueled advances in our understanding of physics at the energy frontier. At the…
We illustrate the current status of heavy quark physics on the lattice. Special emphasis is paid to the question of systematic uncertainties and to the connection of lattice computations to continuum physics. Latest results are presented…
The LEP data on four fermion processes are presently used to study the non abelian gauge couplings of the Standard Model. The present theoretical error for two classes of processes, single-W production and radiative four fermion final…
I give an overview of the ideas and of the problems that orient the expectations for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider and, whenever I can, I describe the corresponding signals.

Searches for New Particles including future sensitivity prospects are reviewed. The main focus is placed on results obtained at LEP, HERA and the Tevatron on generic searches such as searches for excited fermions, searches for leptoquarks…
The open problems and the most recent developments in flavour physics are briefly reviewed. Particular attention is devoted to the current "anomalies" in the CKM picture and their possible interpretation in beyond-the-Standard-Model…
A brief review of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in photonic final states at LEP is given here. These include searches for supersymmetry, large extra dimensions and contact interactions. Recent results from all four LEP…
A partisan review of some of the most important $\gamma\gamma$ channels accessible at LEP 2, with special stress on the measurement of the photon structure function $F_{2}^{\gamma}$ and on associated problems with Monte Carlo modelling.
The effective Lagrangian approach allows us to constrain fermion magnetic and electric moments using LEP-I data. We improve some of the previous limits on these moments.
We review fundamental open problems in neutrino physics and propose two basic experiments for their possible resolution.
Motivated by the recent experimental measures of the 2p-states fine splitting of the muonic He4 ion [1], we think it may have some interest to present an independent calculation in terms of the two-body relativistic equation for a scalar…
We derive the low-energy electroweak effective lagrangian for the case of additional heavy, unmixed, sequential fermions. Present data still allow for the presence of a new quark and/or lepton doublet with masses greater than $M_Z/2$,…
I describe the underlying physics behind the BFKL resummation and discuss some of the recent ideas and results in this field. On the theoretical side I consider the formalism in the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) approximation and the…
Precise electroweak results from LEP2 are reviewed.
We review the current status, and some open issues, of VHE astrophysics.
After a five year upgrade period, the Fermilab experiments CDF and DO are taking high quality data in Run II of the Tevatron Collider. We report on the start-up of both detectors and present a selection of first B physics results from the…
The limits on extra neutral gauge bosons, which could be reached at LEP2, are reviewed. Exclusion and discovery limits are discussed for f\bar f and WW production.
For the first time the experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL have presented preliminary results for fermion-pair and photon-pair production in e+e- collisions on the full LEP2 data set. The details of the experimental measurements and…
We review the latest experimental achievements on the hadronic cross section measurements at low energy which are of fundamental importance for a precise evaluation of the hadronic contribution to the g-2 of the muon. We also discuss the…
