Phenomenology of LEP 2 Physics
Abstract
Description
Various aspects of physics at LEP 2 are reviewed from a phenomenological point of view. We first discuss the search for Higgs bosons, which might be relatively light if indications from the precision electroweak data and supersymmetry are correct. Then WW physics is discussed, with particular emphasis on the problems in measuring mW by the kinematic reconstruction of events with purely hadronic final states. Finally, possible manifestations of supersymmetry are reviewed, comparing different scenarios for the lightest supersymmetric particle, which may or may not be stable. Possible scenarios for R violation at HERA and future searches for supersymmetry at the LHC are also mentioned briefly.
