Electroweak Standard Model and Precision Tests

Abstract

I give an introduction and overview of recent developments in high precision tests of the Standard Model. This includes a summary of Z-pole measurements, a brief account of the NuTeV result on neutrino-nucleon scattering, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, and implications for the Higgs boson mass.
