Status of Electroweak Precision Measurements and Perspectives at LHC Available to Purchase

The status of precision measurements in the electroweak sector is briefly reviewed. Emphasis is given on final LEP results using data collected at the Z and beyond the WW production threshold. A common analysis of electroweak observables sets at 260 GeV/c² the upper limit on the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson (95% CL). The current bounds on trilinear WWZ and WWγ anomalous couplings at LEP are discussed and compared with perspectives at future accelerators. The rôle of LHC as a top factory is briefly discussed.
