Abstract

Electroweak precision tests of the Standard Model of the fundamental interactions are reviewed ranging from the lowest to the highest energy experiments. Results from global fits are presented with particular emphasis on the extraction of fundamental parameters such as the Fermi constant, the strong coupling constant, the electroweak mixing angle, and the mass of the Higgs boson. Constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model are also discussed.
