Precision Electroweak Measurements Circa 2002

Abstract

Present global fits to electroweak data are characterized by two results that differ from Standard Model expectations by about 3 sigma, the NuTeV measurement of sin^2theta_W and the FB b quark asymmetries measured at LEP. I review possible SM and new physics explanations of these anomalies and the implications for the indirect determination of the Higgs mass.
