Precision Tests of the Standard Model
Abstract
Description
Recent published and preliminary precision electroweak measurements are reviewed, including new results on the mass of the top quark and mass and width of the W boson. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the Standard Model and are used to constrain its free parameters, notably the mass of the Higgs boson. The agreement between measurements and expectations from theory is discussed.
