Precision Tests of the Standard Electroweak Model

High precision measurements of weak neutral current and charged current processes and the properties of the Z and W bosuns have established the standard electroweak model as correct down to a distance scale of 10-16cm, and are a sensitive probe of possible underlying physics. In this book, all aspects of the programme are considered in detail, including the structure of the standard model, radiative corrections, high precision experiments and their implications. The major classes of experiments are surveyed, covering the experiments themselves, the data analysis, results and prospects. This volume is a detailed reference for theoretical and experimental researchers, as well as an introductory text for advanced students.
