The mass of the W boson is determined from the direct reconstruction of its decays into purely hadronic and semi-leptonic events in e+e- collisions at LEP. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 683 inverse picobarns…

Knowledge of the beam energy at LEP2 is of primary importance to set the absolute energy scale for the measurement of the W-boson mass. The beam energy above 80 GeV is derived from continuous measurements of the magnetic bending field by 16…

The mass and width of the W boson are measured using e+e- -> W+W- events from the data sample collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 170 GeV and 209 GeV. The mass (mw) and width (gw) are determined using…

A novel method of determining the mass of the W boson in the W+W- -> lnu lnu channel is presented and applied to 667pb^-1 of data recorded at the center-of- mass energies in the range 183-207 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP. The Measured…

At LEP2 many Standard Model predictions are tested up to centre-of-mass energies of 209 GeV. Fermion pair production cross sections and asymmetries agree well with the theoretical expectation over the entire energy range. The measurements…

A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 232pb^-1 was collected in 1997 and 1998 by the L3 experiment at LEP in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 181.7GeV and 188.7GeV. Pair production of fermions and…

We review the precision measurement of the mass and couplings of the W Boson at LEP. The total and differential W+W- cross section is used to extract the WWZ and WWgamma couplings. We discuss the techniques used by the four LEP experiments…

We report on measurements of the triple-gauge-boson couplings of the W boson in e+e- collisions with the L3 detector at LEP. W-pair, single-W and single-photon events are analysed in a data sample corresponding to a total luminosity of 76.7…

The data collected by the L3 experiment at LEP at a centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV are used to measure the W-pair production cross section and the W-boson decay branching fractions. These data correspond to an integrated luminosity of…

The W-mass measurements from LEP and the results of a global fit of the Standard Model parameters to the electroweak data are presented. Comprehensive studies of experimental systematic effects allowed a measurement of the W mass with an…

The mass and width of the W boson are determined in e+e- collisions at LEP using 183 pb^-1 of data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy roots=189 GeV with the OPAL detector. The invariant mass distributions from 970 WW->qqqq and 1118…

The measurement of the mass of the W boson, m_W, by direct reconstruction is described. The combination of all measurements of the four LEP experiments yields m_W = 80.412 +- 0.042 GeV. Together with several other measurements the extracted…

Measurements of hadronic final state interactions in W-pair events at LEP are presented. In particular, different scenarios of colour reconnection are studied. The data agree with moderate colour reconnection effects. Extreme scenarios are…

Events stemming from the pair-production of Z bosons in e^+e^- collisions are studied using 217.4 pb^-1 of data collected with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies from 200 GeV up to 209 GeV. The special case of events with b quarks…

From a total data sample of 701.1 pb^-1 recorded with e+e- centre-of-mass energies of sqrt = 161-209 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP, 11693 W-pair candidate events are selected. These data are used to obtain measurements of the W-pair…

The investigation of W-pair production offers unique precision tests of the electroweak theory at future e+e- colliders, including precise determinations of cross sections, the W-boson mass, and gauge-boson self-couplings. The…

This note presents a combination of published and preliminary electroweak results from the four LEP collaborations ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL based on electron-positron collision data taken at centre-of-mass energies above the Z-pole, $130…

The production of W-pairs is analysed in a data sample collected by ALEPH at a mean centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 174.2 pb^-1. Cross sections are given for different topologies of W decays…

This paper is an updated version of the lectures given at the XXIX International Meeting on Fundamental Physics in Sitges, Barcelona (February 2000). The measurements perforned at LEP and SLC have substantially improved the precision of the…
