Precise electroweak measurements constrain new physics.
Ongoing analyses of LEP-2 data continue to refine results.
Abstract
The period 1989-2000 provided a huge yield of precise electroweak data from the LEP and SLC experiments. Many analyses of these data are now complete, but others, particularly of the full LEP-2 data samples, continue. The main electroweak physics results from these data are summarised, and stringent tests of the Standard Model are made with the combined samples. The direct search for the missing link of the Standard Model, the Higgs boson, is also briefly reviewed.
