Precision Measurements at Lep and Lep-2
نویسنده
چکیده
The status of the LEP precision measurements is reviewed, covering the electroweak measurements at the Z0, the studies of fermion pair production, and the totally new subject of W physics at LEP-2. The results presented here include both published and preliminary ones. These precision results are used to check the overall consistency of the Standard Model, and in its framework, constraints on its parameters are derived. For some of the topics, some details of the experimental procedure are also discussed. c 1997 by Tatsuo Kawamoto.

A Tribute to Lep
After a comment on the performance of LEP some highlights of the LEP1 and LEP2 physics programmes are reviewed. The talk concentrates on the precision measurements at the Z resonance, two fermion production above the Z, W + W − production, ZZ production, indirect limits on the Higgs mass, LEP contributions to the exploration of the CKM matrix, and on the LEP measurements of αs.
متن کاملHiggs Physics: from LEP to a Future Linear Collider
New preliminary combined results from the LEP experiments on searches for the Higgs boson beyond the Standard Model are presented. The new determination of the top quark mass at the Tevatron in 2004 influences the interpretations of the LEP results in both, the Standard Model, and the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. Higgs boson physics will also be a major research area ...
متن کاملMeasurements of Exclusive B-hadron Lifetimes at Lep
Measurements of exclusive b-hadron lifetimes at LEP are reviewed. Each LEP experiment has collected about 3.5 million hadronic Z 0 decays between 1990 and 1994. This data allows to identify a large variety of exclusive decay chains of a speciic b hadron with suitable statistics to measure lifetimes. The world averages of exclusive b hadron lifetimes have gained a precision of less than 10%. The...
متن کاملDiscovering Non-Abelian Weak and Non-Minimal Electromagnetic Vector Boson Couplings
An integrated luminosity of 10 pb at √ s = 175 GeV will be sufficient to provide direct experimental evidence for non-vanishing self-couplings among the weak vector bosons. An integrated luminosity of 100 pb at √ s = 175 GeV will provide direct evidence for non-minimal electromagnetic couplings of the charged vector bosons W. With respect to properties of the electroweak vector bosons, there ar...
متن کاملAsymmetry measurements at LEP / SLC revisited
We examine the fermion asymmetry measurements at LEP and SLC leading to effective weak mixing angle, sin e . We notice very interesting regularity in these measurements. All asymmetry measurements fall in two classes. Class A measurements where hadronisation e ects are not relevant for the nal result and class B measurements where hadronisation e ects can not be avoided and can only be correcte...
