Tests of the Standard Model

This lecture covers benchmark tests of the Standard Model consistency, including measurements of Z line shape, Z, W, and WW production cross sections, light neutrino generations, forward-backward asymmetries, W mass, weak angle measurement, top quark mass, and Higgs boson mass. It delves into electroweak measurements at LEP, cross section measurements, Z line shape measurements, and the impact of factors like initial state radiation and integrated luminosity. The lecture also explores the number of light neutrino generations, forward-backward asymmetry, determination of the weak mixing angle, W+W- production, W mass and width measurements, and precision tests of the Standard Model.
